Liverpool are mulling over a move for Roma's Alessandro
Mancini, according to the player's agent.
Mancini enjoyed a superb campaign last season and has reportedly
attracted the attention of several clubs, including Juventus and
Liverpool.
His representative Gilmar Veloz claims he has talked with Rafa
Benitez about a possible transfer, although he admits the two clubs
have yet to enter negotiations.
"There has been interest from Liverpool and I have spoken with
Benitez," Veloz told Radio Centro Suono Sport.
"I replied that they must talk with Roma, but if the Giallorossi
were to sell him I'd have no trouble striking a deal."
Mancini's current contract runs out in 2009 but Veloz insists his
client would like to remain with the club.
However, the Brazilian has yet to agree a contract extension and
Veloz admits his future remains uncertain.
He explained: "On Monday I'll be meeting with Roma sporting
director Daniele Prade to talk about contracts, I don't know what
their offer is yet."
"Does Mancini want to stay? Surely if he didn't he would have
already left."
Reports in the Italian press suggest Mancini will consider leaving
if he is not offered a substantial pay rise.
