Guardiola set for Roma Thursday 9 May, 2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brescia midfielder Josep Guardiola is set to join Roma for the new season according to reports.
Speculation suggests that a deal has already been agreed for the former Barcelona star who has had a very eventful first season in Italy.
The Spaniard arrived at the Rigamonti on a free transfer last summer but then served a four-month doping ban after testing positive for nandrolone.
He subsequently returned and played a crucial part in the closing stages of the season to keep Brescia in the top flight before a knee injury ruled him out of the World Cup.
The 30-year-old, who is available for nothing as he only signed a one-year deal with the Lombard outfit, has been linked with a variety of clubs across the continent.
Meanwhile, Juventus general director Luciano Moggi has rubbished claims linking the Giallorossi with Edgar Davids. "The stories are pure invention," he claimed.
