Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has admitted
the club are interested in Chelsea winger Florent
Malouda.
Spalletti is in the market for a new attacking midfielder after
seeing Amantino Mancini leave for Inter Milan.
Malouda has been strongly linked with a move to Roma in the
Italian media after an indifferent first season at Chelsea.
The former Lyon ace failed to establish himself as a regular in
the Chelsea starting XI last season and Roma are monitoring his
situation.
Spalletti has revealed Malouda and Valencia star David Silva are
on his list of targets.
"They're both great players," said
Spalletti.
"It's clear that we'll have to see in
negotiations who will become more accessible."
Roma could face a fight to sign Silva with a host of clubs
across Europe chasing the Euro 2008 winner.
