Vucinic pursuit stepped up by Liverpool

Barclays Premier League clubs Liverpool and Spurs are to renew their efforts to sign Roma striker Mirko Vucinic after the player's agent suggested he could leave the Italian capital for Serie A rivals Napoli in the summer.

Both Harry Redknapp and Kenny Dalglish are thought to have had enquiries about Vucinic rejected out of hand by the Giallorossi in January.

But their hopes of landing the highly-rated 27-year-old during the summer have been boosted by recent speculation coming out of the Stadio Olimpico, which suggests Roma may now be prepared to listen to offers.

Vucinic's agent Alessandro Lucci said his in-demand client, who can play in the centre or wide on the left, finds switching clubs a 'fascinating' prospect after stoking speculation that Napoli will test Roma's resolve with a £9million bid at the end of the season.

'Vucinic is always linked with Napoli,' Lucci told Italian radio station CRC.

'His contract at Roma is until 2013, and he feels fine there and with the club but nothing is impossible in football, and Napoli is fascinating for him.

'They are a team going places and they know they can reach important objectives.

'Edinson Cavani, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Vucinic would form a devastating trio. They would be the best in Europe.

'But at the moment, no one knows what will happen with Roma in terms of players being sold.'

The Montenegran international has scored 11 goals in 21 caps as well as 56 goals in 132 league appearances for Roma since 2006.
