AS Roma are waiting for the green light from Glen Johnson's camp to open talks with the Liverpool fullback. Off contract in June, Johnson is free to negotiate a Bosman move for next season with any foreign team.

SportItalia says Roma are eager to bring the England fullback to Serie A, though are yet to formally submit a contract offer.

However, as Liverpool continue to drag their feet over a new agreement, Johnson, himself, accepts this will be his last season at Anfield.

For their part, Roma haven't ruled out buying Johnson this month, though they expect any such decision not to be made until the final days of the market.
