Roma, Spalletti: "Negotiations are in advanced stages for Vermaelen"

Jean-Luca Mascaro (@CalcioNews89) Roma's new season will soon begin as they will be taking on Porto in the Champions league preliminary phase. Coach Luciano Spalletti spoke about a few topics including Vermaelen, as a deal is very close to being complete with Barcelona: "Vermaelen has a lot of experience and quality, he has a strong personality. Sabatini is working on it and negotiations are in an advanced stage but it is not closed yet. Porto? They are a strong team with a lot of quality. Casillas, Herrera, Aboubakar, Brahimi and Corona are solid players, we will have to be ready. Chinese Milan ? "There are new countries who are trying to now conquer the footballing world like China,Russia and the America's. They have a lot of financial power and should give an important contribution but for me, Montella is one of Milan's strong points. He is very prepared and knows what he is doing"
