"The truth is that I learned about Roma's interest through the press," Ricardo Schlieper told calciomercato.

"I have not been contacted by anyone."

The Argentina international, who joined Benfica in the summer in a €5.5 million deal, has been ever present in the club's back line since his arrival.

The former Real Madrid defender has a contract with the Portuguese club until 2015, with a €20m release clause written into the deal.
