During their stay in Nyon for the Champions League draw, Barcelona officials have met with AS Roma counterparts and would have asked them about the renewal negotiations with Roma midfielders Daniele De Rossi (24) and Alberto Aquilani (23). Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Roma sports director Daniele Pradè and Roma team manager Tonino Tempestili made very clear that Italian international De Rossi is untouchable, but they didn't closed the door to talks on Aquilani. The contract of Aquilani expires next year and the player preferes to leave for a bigger club and get better financial conditions.

Both are great players! We miss someone with the long distance shot of Aquilani in our squad.
If Barca are to sign a offensive mid I think they should go for aquilani this kid is realy good
In the Italian press there's talk about difficult renewal negotiaions with Aquilani who wants a fixed place in the team. And Roma has some kind of salary ceiling.
pep:
Yes they have. That's the main reason why Chivu left for Inter, the salary. Mexes accepted the salary ceiling and recieved the fans love. Mancini is another one who asks for more money.
The dream would be to sign de Rossi but unfortunatelly it will never happen. The guy has a big Roma heart. I guess Aquilani is good would do, but he would only become a squad player in Barça.
Thanks for that further explanation. I think it takes guts to have a salary ceiling (and stick to it) these days.
