Roma are hopeful of concluding a deal for Inter defender Nicolas Burdisso as sporting director Daniele Prade flies out to Milan with a €6 million offer.

Il Corriere dello Sport
claims that Roma have already agreed personal terms with the Argentinean stopper. He will sign a four year deal worth €2.5m per annum, but the club needs to scale a wall of opposition from Inter.

The Nerazzurri have told Roma that Burdisso will cost €10m - a long shot from the €3.5m offer that was subsequently rejected.

The Lupi's budgetary constraints following the Unicredit takeover mean they cannot afford to offer more than €6m.

Inter's sporting director Marco Branca offered this view, "I have a good report with Prade. If he calls me I will answer.

"But Burdisso has played really well and he cannot be worth just €3.5m."
