Valencia’s Miguel linked to AS Roma

Serie A side AS Roma are reportedly interested in signing Valencia’s Miguel, as Cicinho might be on his way out at the Giallorossi.

Sky Sport reports that Roma manager Luciano Spalletti aims to strengthen his defender by attracting a new right back to replace Cicinho. The Brazilian has never managed to live up to expectations since joining the side in 2007.

Miguel, born in 1980 in Portugal’s capital city Lisbon, spent five years of his career at Benfica before joining Valencia in 2005. So far, he played 99 games for the Spanish side and scored twice.

The player, whose full name is Luis Miguel Brito Garcia Monteiro, traditionally plays as right defender but also has attacking abilities.
