There are reports that tonight’s Roma-Inter encounter will be the chance to discuss an intriguing transfer switch.
It is no secret that the Nerazzurri are pinpointing Emerson as the man to fix their midfield next season, even though they face stiff competition from Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea.
The Brazilian is likely to move on in the summer as his contract is nearing its end and his sale would bring in valuable extra funds to the cash-strapped side.
However, Inter could leap in to pole position if they include Christian Vieri as part of the deal.
The hitman is unsettled at the San Siro and many believe this will be his final campaign at the club.
Up until now there were reports of an overseas switch to Barcelona, but Roma would be the perfect solution for him.
Vieri would fill the role of tall target man that Fabio Capello has always favoured, while he’d hook up with fellow Italian internationals Francesco Totti and Antonio Cassano.
He is not new to the Stadio Olimpico, as the former Juventus star also spent a season with Lazio.
