Roma are ready to establish contact with Milan for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as they continue to shuffle with Flamengo hitman Adriano, according to reports.

Tuttosport
claims Claudio Ranieri is looking at Huntelaar as an alternative choice to Luca Toni who is expected to return to Bayern Munich.

Milan have always maintained the Dutchman was a non-departure. However, Roma are looking to insert Philippe Mexes as part of the deal - a player the Rossoneri have always liked.

Should the move for Huntelaar crash, Roma will apportion transfer funds for Flamengo ace Adriano. Globoesporte claims 'l'Imperatore' is keen to join them after telling his friends that Roma had an important deal for him lined up.

It follows Wednesday's reports which suggested agent Gilmar Rinaldi would be in Rome on Saturday to explore the possibilities of his client returning to Serie A via the Lupi.

However, the Brazilian club are keen to keep the hitman as their president Patricia Antorim has proclamied a new deal is on the horizon.

 
"If he wants to stay then we will find a way of accomodating him financially," Antorim said.
