Bronzetti Reveals Roma-Madrid Agreement Over Chivu

An 18 million euro deal had reportedly been agreed this morning before Pedja Mijatovic decided to cloud the issue by claiming that the Merengue club yet had made no official offer.

"The two clubs will have to hold more talks," Mijatovic had said. "There is still nothing more now though.

"We may need another meeting, I do not know.

"Chivu is a great player and there a quite a few teams that are interested. We will have to see what happens.

"There has been no offer, though."

However, Bronzetti has just confirmed that a deal has indeed been struck, and the transfer will go ahead if Chivu gives the nod.

"Real Madrid and Roma have agreed that Chivu will be sold for 18 million euros," he said. "Now it is for Chivu to decide."
