Mathieu to Roma resurfaces

Toulouse defender Jeremy Mathieu has again revealed he is desperate to finally make a move to Serie A side AS Roma this summer. The French left back has been persistently linked with the on-off move to the Italian side.

"It's not news," he told Corriere dello Sport. "Roma have been following me for quite a long time and I've already spoken with someone.

"Honestly, I must say that three other sides have asked about me. I don't want to offend them, but Roma are Roma.

"The Italian league is fascinating and Roma are a big club at the top of European football.

"Should they ask me, I will reply positively.

"I would like it if my future could be decided before 26th June when Toulouse begin pre-season training."
