Zukanovic dumps Stuttgart for Roma?

By Football Italia staff

Sampdoria defender Ervin Zukanovic has reportedly rejected VfB Stuttgart to join Roma instead.

German papers were confident a deal was done between the two clubs this evening, on loan with an option to buy for €4m.

However, tonight Rai Sport claim Roma offered to match their bid and Zukanovic prefers the Giallorossi.

He could therefore have his medical with the Capital club tomorrow rather than make his trip to Germany.

"There is interest from Roma, but I have booked my ticket for Germany," agent Silvano Martina told SportItalia.

The 28-year-old Bosnia international centre-back only joined Samp over the summer from Chievo after a transfer tug-of-war with Inter.
