Valencia’s Serbian striker Nikola Zigic has been linked with a move away from the Mestalla in January, and the player’s agent has stated that Roma are interested in bringing the player to Serie A.

The tall forward had a successful spell on loan at Racing Santander last season but has been surplus to requirements again this season, with coach Unai Emery ready to listen to offers.

His agent, Milan Calasan, had recently commented that there had been no contact from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, but Sky Sports comments that the Giallorossi are set to end Zigic’s time in Spain.

Calasan said, “Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg were interested in [Nikola] Zigic, but the player did not want to move there.

“Roma has also shown interest, but I am unsure if they have the money to buy him. We will need to wait and see what happens.”

Valencia signed Zigic in 2007 from Racing Santander for a fee of €19m on a five-year contract, but has struggled to make an impact for Los Che, and with the Spanish side struggling financially they will be looking to recoup as much of their outlay as possible.
