The agent of Catania defender Juan Vargas has opened the door to a summer switch to Roma.

"Vargas is ready now to play for a big team," agent Carlos Alberto Delgado told Romanews.eu. "He has spent two years at Catania and now he wants to test himself at a prestigious club like Roma. He will certainly leave Sicily in June.

"He doesn't necessarily need to always be a starter because there aren't first-choice players and reserves at big clubs - there are three or four players competing for a place and it's not easy to be picked all the time.

"I can't say that if I have had contact with Roma because I had to know Catania's plans first. I don't want to show a lack of respect to the Elefanti."
