Roma in Juventus swap talks over Mexes sale

Roma are seeking players in talks with Juventus over the sale of Philippe Mexes. The France international is up for sale at Roma with less than a year to run on his contract and is now a top target for Juve GM Beppe Marotta.

Roma are seeking €10 million for the defender. Juve are reluctant to pay outright cash and instead are discussing player swaps with Roma.

Roma coach Claudio Ranieri would like Juve midfielder Momo Sissoko, having signed the former Liverpool star while in charge of the Bianconeri.

Juve do not want to lose Sissoko, however, and instead have offered Christian Poulsen and Zdenek Grygera.

AC Milan are also interested in Mexes, but do not have the cash available to meet Roma's valuation.
