| | Milan for Roman conquest? |

Roma are considering an approach for Russian international marksman Roman Pavlyuchenko, but Milan could hijack the deal.
The Giallorossi fell agonisingly short of the Scudetto last term and experts cited the lack of attacking options as one of the reasons they lost out to Inter.
The summer market is expected to yield a new striking star, with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Adrian Mutu having been suggested as options.
Now Roma are looking to Pavlyuchenko, who impressed for Russia at Euro 2008 and plays for homeland side Spartak Moscow.
The appeal of the 26-year-old is such that the Sensi family are said to be weighing up the merits of a £12m bid.
However, sources suggest that Milan also see Pavlyuchenko as an option as they struggle to persuade Arsenal to part with Emmanuel Adebayor.
Vice-President Adriano Galliani is insistent that he talks with the Gunners will progress, but the Russian international could be a more realistic option at half the price.
Pavlyuchenko is under contract in Moscow until 2011, but the Krasno-Belye may be resigned to losing the prolific star to the bright lights of one of Europe’s biggest Leagues.
Roma are expected to complete the sale of Brazilian forward Amantino Mancini within the next few weeks.
