Lecce striker Mirko Vucinic has revealed a burning desire to sign for Roma. "It is his dream to join the Giallorossi," declared his agent.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed six successful seasons with the Puglian club, but in the summer would like to team up with Francesco Totti - his footballing hero.

"Mirko’s dream is to join Roma," Alessandro Lucci told Italian radio programme, ‘Te la do io Tokio.’ "He is a great admirer of Totti and would do anything to play with him.

"Vucinic would be a great player for the Giallorossi," added Lucci. "Last year, despite only playing half a season because of Valeri Bojinov’s amazing start to the campaign, Mirko scored 19 goals.

"As well as benefiting from the excellent tactics of Zdenek Zeman, he proved that he has great qualities," he continued. "He is one of the few potential world class players out there and he’s still only 22.

"And what’s more he absolutely adores Totti - he is as stubborn as a hammer about it."

Lucci went on to explain however, that any transfer involving Vucinic to Roma would not be entirely straightforward, given that Lecce have already turned down vast sums of money for the Serbia-Montenegro international.

"Any deal would be quite complex," he elaborated. "You only have to look at last June when Lecce turned down a £7m offer from Inter."

Roma are currently unable to buy any players until the end of the season, as they are serving a FIFA ban imposed after the Philippe Mexes affair. Come the summer, meanwhile, there is likely to be a considerable amount of competition for the player.

Inter are still in the market for another striker, while Vucinic’s appearance in the World Cup Finals will put him in the ultimate shop window.

The club from the capital are likely to have money to spend in the summer, though, and will be hoping to play on Vucinic’s love for the Giallorossi and their captain to lure him to Rome.

Good reinforcement by Roma if they nab Vucinic!
