Simplicio could join Roma in January

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini recently claimed Simplicio was close to signing a new three-year deal with the club, but that does not seem completly tru.

Simplicio’s agent, Gilmar Rinaldi, has revealed the midfielder could hold talks with other clubs in January.

“Simplicio to Roma? This is completely new to me,” Rinaldi told Romagiallorossa.com.

“Fabio is being linked with a new club every day. A few days ago I was called up because it was rumoured that he could go to Lazio.

“Will he leave Palermo? These are assessments that we will make in January, before which time I don’t want to talk about it.”

“We have not considered the idea [that Simplicio could sign for Roma]. We will evaluate any possibility in January.”
