Roma coach cools link for Real Madrid's Cicinho

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has played down talk of a move for Real Madrid fullback Cicinho.

He said: "Sometimes agents say a great deal and you journalists write things that aren't true. In any case, we already have Juan, who is a fantastic player."

Yesterday, the Brazil international declared: "I feel like a member of Real Madrid, but if the situation carries on like this and the Coach thinks he can do without me, I can decide to leave."
