Roma chase Silvestre

Italian giants Roma have reportedly made a move for French defender Mikael Silvestre from Man Utd. The Italians are ready to pay the £5 million asking price.

Apparently, Silvestre has already been in talks with French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux with regards to a move there.

Bordeaux are coached by old team mate Laurent Blanc, who is prepared to pay United's asking price.

However, the new interest of Roma could see the player make a move elsewhere instead.
