AS Roma have shown interest in signing FC Koln striker Lukas Podolski in this summer’s transfer window. The cash-rich club are in the summer transfer window to acquire some quality players in order to challenge for trophies next season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896 witnessed a disappointing season with Koln and his team ended tenth on the Bundesliga table with 44 points with 13 wins and 16 losses. The winger had expressed his desire to play European football and could be on his way out in the summer.
The player’s representative will meet Roma in the coming week to discuss a possible transfer. The Giallorossi will be looking to bolster attacking options before the start of the next season as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremy-Menez-c18345 is set to leave.
Riccardo Sarti, the player’s representative, has hinted of possible move and revealed that he will meet the Italian club’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director, Walter Sabatini, in the next few days.
“Lukas wants to try a new experience. He would be an ideal reinforcement for Roma. He’s quick, precise and excellent technically. The Giallorossi certainly like him and for that reason I will soon be meeting with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Walter-c36580 Sabatini,” Sarti was quoted.
Podolski has made 34 appearances for Koln this season and scored 14 goals.
Zokora close to Trabzonspor
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Sevilla midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Trabzonspor-c40759. If reports are to be believed, an agreement has been reached between the two parties and the confirmation will be made in the next few days.
The Turkish giants were runners-up in the Turkish Super Lig last season. They were level on points with champions Fenerbahce but lost out due to an inferior goal difference. The Claret-Blues now look to strengthen their squad to challenge for the title again
in the coming season and the Ivorian would be a quality addition.
Zokora had lost his place in the starting line-up at Sevilla to compatriot Romaric and had spent most of the second-half of the season warming the benches. The 30-year old could turn out to be a brilliant signing for the Turkish giants considering the experience
he has.
