Torino talent Alessandro Rosina has moved to the top of Roma’s shopping list, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Roma are keeping their eyes open for a possible replacement for Brazilian winger Amantino Mancini, who is refusing to sign a new contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
Yesterday, reports from Spain indicated that the capital club see Spanish star Joaquin as an option, but La Gazzetta dello Sport insists that the answer could lie closer to home.
Rosina has been outstanding for a struggling Toro side this term and many feel that the 24-year-old’s abilities are wasted with the Granata.
The Cosenza native was unhappy under former boss Walter Novellino and is reportedly keen to move to a bigger club in order to add to the maiden Italy cap he received in a friendly against South Africa last October.
With selection for Euro 2008 out of the question, Rosina will start to look towards World Cup 2010 and may feel that his chances of playing in South Africa will be improved by relocating to the Eternal City.
Toro tied Rosina to the club until 2011 with a contract extension earlier in the season and the former Parma man would be expected to command at least £5m.
