AS Roma director Mauro Baldissoni is tightlipped on new contract talks with Gervinho.

The Ivorian is in a contract row with the club.

But Baldissoni says: "There is no situation to comment on, as he asked our permission for a few days to attend to some family problems.

"It has nothing to do with contract issues."
