Juventus and Roma may be on the verge of finally agreeing a deal over the transfer of Emerson.
The Brazilian has agreed personal terms with the Bianconeri but the capital club were unconvinced by their initial offer.
The Stadio Delle Alpi side are understood to have tabled £6m but Roma didn’t take too kindly to that bid.
"Either Juve match Real Madrid’s offer of £12m or they give us £10m plus Manuele Blasi," replied sporting director Franco Baldini last week.
Yet the Old Lady want to keep hold of Blasi, a player who is considered as a future international regular.
Now Juve transfer guru Luciano Moggi is ready to offer £6m plus the services of Stephan Appiah instead.
The Ghana ace was signed from Brescia last summer but he failed to settle with the Italian giants.
Roma could be tempted to accept the switch, especially as they were also interested in Appiah 12 months ago.
Meanwhile, whispers in the peninsula claim that Juve are keen on netting Mohamed Kallon from Inter.
The Sierra Leone striker has been linked with Fiorentina but a switch to Turin may now
Kallon..no thanks.
