AS Roma are waiting to pounce for Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson.

The Telegraph says Roma are happy to match the 30-year-old's £120,000-a-week wages to take him to Italy.

"First and foremost, I want to play for a club that wants me," Johnson said. "At the moment, I have seen some stuff in the press that I have been offered half the money I am on. That's not true. I haven't been offered anything.

"We aren't speaking [on a contract] at the moment."
