Spain U-21 seem to follow the Stadio Olimpico Luis Enrique, and with Velez Sarsfield winger Ricky Alvarez.

Roma director Walter Sabatini has confirmed that the club hoped the transfer of the Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic will in the coming days.

The 20-year-old has been linked with a move to the Italian capital since Luis Enrique, Bojan's former coach at Barcelona B took over the reigns at Roma a fortnight ago.

Roma will be looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season with new owner Thomas DiBenedetto making funds available as the club look to improve on last season's sixth place finish.

Reports emerging from Spain have stated that the Spain Under-21 international has already agreed to join Roma yet the side's sporting director, Sabatini has confirmed this is not yet the case.

"In Spain they say Bojan is a Roma player," Sabatini told Sports Network.

"It's very close and very realistic but the deal has not yet been finalised although we hope to do so on the coming days."

The sporting director also confirmed that the club are looking at a number of possible transfer targets, including Velez Sarsfield winger Ricky Alvarez.

"[Alvarez] is a versatile player and has the ability to do things differently on the pitch," he added.

"Alvarez is a strong player like many others we are monitoring."

Sabatini concluded the interview by stating he hopes to keep Mirko Vucinic at the club, despite the Montenegro international interesting several clubs including Juventus.

"Mirko [Vucinic] is a great player, he can make an impact on any game,", he said.

"He knows he is a Roma player and I consider him as one of the club's best assets."

Bojan looks set to join the Serie A club on a season-long loan deal while Alvarez could cost Roma up to €12 million (£2.6m).
