Spanish daily newspaper Marca revealed that the Romans are interested also in Brazilian striker Julio Baptista, if to believe his agent, and that a swap-deal could be done.

The Brazilian striker has played a few minutes under the helm of Bernd Schuster who has agreed to release him in case he gets a replacement.

Mancini has been out-of-favor at Roma and his future was finished at the end of last season after falling out with coach Luciano Spalletti. The Romans will be ready to off-load him especially that his contracts ends in 2009.

It’s more complicated for De Rossi as he is one of the team’s heroes and it is not believed that he could leave the Italian capital.
