Barcelona are today listed as another to have taken up interest in and even approached Rudi Garcia, but he looks set to stay with Roma.
The Frenchman has impressed in his debut campaign with the Lupi, leading the club to automatic Champions League qualification.
Whilst he has one season remaining on his current deal at the Olimpico, Roma are seen as ready to open talks on improving and extending that contract.
However, on from reports yesterday suggesting Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring his work with an eye to a move this summer to replace Laurent Blanc, Il Messaggero report that Barcelona are also similarly considering the 50-year-old.
Tata Martino is increasingly speculated as on his way out of the Camp Nou in the summer and the Rome-based publication speculate that the Catalans have Garcia as their first choice replacement.
It is suggested that Roma have been aware of this interest for at least a week and that even in early March Barca approached Garcia’s agent over a possible move.
However, Il Messaggero also report that despite this interest, the Coach’s representative is expected to open contract renewal talks with the Giallorossi, with a new deal targeted before the end of May, when the club depart for an end-of-season tour to Orlando.
