Spalletti hopes to reel in Riise
Wednesday 11 June, 2008

Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has faith in sporting director Daniele Pradè to succeed in the transfer market and hopes he can lure John Arne Riise.

The Giallorossi are looking to strengthen after narrowly missing out on the Scudetto last term and are already close to negotiating full ownership of striker Mirko Vucinic.

Spalletti is hoping that the capital club will succeed in the market and has set his heart on Liverpool’s Norwegian star Riise.

“A play like Riise can give a different kind of readiness,” the Lupi tactician said on the Roma Channel.

“Considering the challenges that await us in the coming season, Riise has the qualities that we are looking for.

“However, we have to look for other players as well and not make any mistakes in forming the new squad, such as losing the balance of the side.

“It is fundamental that we have a group based on the right attitude of friendship and professionalism.

“Pradè will do the majority of the work in the market and I am confident that he will do well, following our strategy.

“All we need is to add a little extra quality to our ranks so that we can compete in all competitions again,” he concluded.
