Roma outbid Parma to sign Borini outright

AS Roma have bought the remaining 50
percent of former Chelsea striker Fabio Borini's contract and
now own the player outright, the club said on Saturday.
Roma formerly part-owned him with Serie A rivals Parma but
an offer of 4.9 million euros in a sealed
envelope bid proved enough to ensure that Borini would stay at
the Stadio Olimpico.
There had been media speculation in Italy and England that
the ex-Swansea City player could link up again with former coach
Brendan Rodgers who is now in charge at Liverpool.
Borini, a member of the Italian squad at the European
Championship, spent last season on loan at Roma.
