Roma coach Luciano Spalleti is a long-time admirer of Cicinho, who can also play midfield roles, and hopes he can land the player during the summer transfer window.

The Italian capital side have offered three millions Euros than Real Madrid demanded but the player’s desire to leave could be crucial, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Cicinho missed the majority of Real’s campaign last season with a knee injury and he doesn’t seem to be part of Bernd Schuster plans for the new season.
