Maxi Lopez's agent has admitted that the Catania striker would find it impossible to turn down a potential move to Roma.
The Argentine striker has been linked with a departure from the Sicilian side, with a potential loan switch to AC Milan initially touted, but now looking unlikely.
Fulham has also been speculated as a potential suitor, but the former Barcelona forward's representative has stated that the Italian capital would be an ideal destination.
"There are no concrete offers at the moment," Andrea D'Amico told Romagiallorossa.com. "Even if there were, however, I would not tell you because I want to wait until it is all decided.
"However, Roma is a destination of course that would be impossible to refuse and that Maxi would like. He wants to leave Catania and if Roma came forward he would definitely accept their proposal."
Meanwhile, another of D'Amico's clients, Diego Lugano, has also been rumored to be a target for Luis Enrique's men, but the Uruguay international insisted that he will not be moving to the Stadio Olimpico this January.
"Roma are a prestigious club, but I'm happy at Paris Saint-Germain and I have no reasons to change teams. There are no concrete negotiations, just rumors," the 31-year-old declared.
Roma is currently in seventh place in Serie A, and return to action after the winter break against Chievo Verona on Sunday.
