Roma getting angry over Mexes
Wednesday, 16 June 2004
Roma's general director Franco Baldini is threatening legal action against Auxerre over the transfer of Philippe Mexes - who has shunned Manchester United in favour of the Roman giants.
The France international is reportedly aiming to land a move to the Stadio Olimpico after rejecting interest from United.
Auxerre are now demanding of Roma, what United were willing to pay, which is believed to have been €15 million.
This represents a problem for Roma - who were only willing to pay €8 million for the French star - who has reportedly already agreed terms on the move.
"Manchester made a really big offer, but the player and his agent refused," explained Baldini.
"They were fearing that in England he wouldn't have played with regularity."
The two clubs are now negotiating, but Roma are looking to broker a deal and are seemingly losing patience with their French counterparts.

This sounds just like Moggi territory :devil:
