Italian agent Enzo Bronzetti said last night: “Yesterday, the sports director from Roma called me, Daniele Prade, and I have passed on the contact details of Ferran Soriano (Barca’s vice-president).
“It’s not the first time the Catalans have shown interest in Chivu in order to strengthen their defence.
“Soriano is a good operator. He will first try to reach an agreement with Roma, then he’ll deal with the player’s representatives.”
