Edgardo Lasalvia, Darwin Nunez's agent, has confirmed he has been contacted by Roma over the Uruguayan striker. He is one of those preferred by Mourinho to bolster the attack.
When interviewed by 'RomaNews', Nunez's agent was clear: "Yes, we had some contact with Roma." But, for now, negotiations are still at a very early stage.
It will not be easy. Benfica have got the Uruguayan striker and they will not let him go so easily. They want at least 35 million euros for him, an amount which Roma will find it very difficult to get close to without making a major sale.
