AS Roma are using Franco Baldini to lead talks with Arsenal for Gael Clichy.
The England team manager is working part-time for Roma this summer, says Il Messaggero.
Baldini has a good relationship with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and has already opened talks about a deal for fullback Clichy.
Roma are offering €7-8 million, while Arsenal want €12-15 million for the Frenchman.
A compromise is expected for around €10 million - and Roma are prepared to include Jeremy Menez in their bid to sweeten the deal.
