Ljungberg: Roma link
Recently-released West Ham midfielder Fredrik Ljungberg’s future could lie in Italy, according to the Premier League club.
The Hammers technical director Gianluca Nani has revealed he had fielded a number of calls from Italy for the former Sweden international, who has been linked with Roma.
Ljungberg left the Hammers on Wednesday after only 12 months, despite having one year and an option for another to run on his contract.
Injuries have slowed the former Arsenal star’s career in recent seasons and he failed to make much of an impact in 25 appearances with the Hammers last term.
But Nani has hinted that a number of Italian clubs have been in contact, telling Il Romanista: “I have received calls from every part of Italy - Florence, Milan - and to be honest I have no idea where he (Ljungberg) will end up.
“I knew Roma liked him, but I don’t know whether this has changed. Ljungberg has a high wage demand and it may be difficult for the Giallorossi to get him.”
