Crespo's Wife In Favour Of Roma Move
Alessia Crespo, the wife of Inter striker Hernan Crespo, is in favour of her husband going to play for Roma and insists that his Lazio past would not be a problem...
Inter striker Hernan Crespo has not seen much time on the pitch this season under coach Jose Mourinho and it is widely expected the former Argentina international will be leaving the club in the near future.
One possible transfer could see him move to Roma as rumours persist that the former Lazio goal-scorer could join the Giallorossi in January. Crespo's wife, Alessia, says she would be in favour of her husband moving back to the eternal city.
"Hernan has a contract with Inter until June and that must be respected. Certainly if interesting bids come in than Inter will evaluate them," she told Radio Incontro.
"Especially if Roma were to make an advance, we would evaluate it very carefully! There would be no problems despite his past with Lazio, he already came back here after playing for Milan. He has always respected everyone, including the Giallorossi fans, we will wait to see what happens."
Some believe that Crespo's lack of playing time could be a fitness problem, but his wife dismissed that possibility.
"I can assure you that Hernan is physically well," she explained to the radio program. "The issue is that Mourinho has been using different tactical choices, that is the only reason Hernan has not played recently."
Crespo may get a chance to play this weekend at the Satdio Olimpico against Lazio as Nerazzurri boss Mourinho has left both Adriano and Mario Balotelli off of his squad list.
Roma close in on Bayern Munich's Podolski
Roma are firming as favourites to land Bayern Munich's German international Lukas Podolski.
Bayern's General Manager Uli Hoeness has reportedly confirmed that Podolski will inevitably leave Munich, but only at the end of the season, ruling out a January transfer.
Roma are likely to meet Bayern's asking price of 10 million euros but will be looking to off-load Menez, who has attracted interest from France and England.
