The agent of Palermo striker Amauri has confirmed talks with Roma.

"The two clubs are in talks," Mariano Grimaldi revealed. "I hope that a deal is done as it would be a proud day for me and my client if he joined Roma.

"Amauri can play first or second striker and he has a great relationship with Francesco Totti as they met during a spell at an injury clinic.

"They got to know each other well and Totti told him to come to Rome. Marcos Cafu has also told him how good the atmosphere is with the Magica."
