Roma failed with a deadline day bid to sign West Ham United midfielder Valon Behrami, according to the Italian side's legal representative, Antonio Conte.
Behrami, a Swiss international, arrived at West Ham two years ago from Lazio, but has been linked with a return to Italy throughout the transfer window.
However, Conte has revealed that Roma's move for Behrami collapsed after they failed to agree a deal before the end of the window.
"[Roma's] President Rosella Sensi and other executives tried to sign Behrami yesterday," Conte told Centro Suono Sport.
"[Roma sporting director Daniele] Prade tried until the end but there were problems of time as well as some missed assignments that were required for Roma to conclude the deal."
Serie A newcomers Cesena also set their sights on a move for the midfielder, but chairman Igor Campedelli revealed that Behrami had already agreed a deal with a more high-profile club.
"We wanted the player because our coach [Massimo Ficcadenti] knows him well," Campedelli told calciomercato.it.
"He said no because he had already given his word to bigger clubs."
