AS Roma chief James Pallotta admits a tour of the USA is on the agenda.

Pallotta is part of the American consortium that bought Roma in the summer.

"To me this is not just an investment, but an opportunity to create something really special and have Roma on top of the world, because that's where they belong. If Roma do well then it won't change the financial life of the investors. It's more about heart.

"We do have plans, because nobody is making the most of the Roma 'brand.' Merchandising options are significant and we have a tour of the United States in our ideas for the summer, but my tour would be the kind nobody has seen before.

"If we compare it to baseball, we can say that we're at the first inning. There is so much we still haven't revealed yet."
