Lukas Podolski has grown frustrated at his peripheral role at Bayern Munich and could opt to move on during the January transfer window.
Roma are in the hunt for a hitman to better cope with Francesco Totti’s absence and reports in the peninsula allege that the Germany international has ended up on their shopping list.
“I know that Roma are tracking me and would like to sign me,” Podolski told German weekly Bunte.
“I would have no problems in moving there, as they are a big club, even though I doubt Romans can speak Kolsch…”
Kolsch is the dialect spoken in Koln, where the 23-year-old grew up and started his footballing career, and the Bundesliga side are also allegedly interested to re-signing him.
“I need to play and cannot keep sitting on the bench,” insisted the striker. “I am not comfortable staying in Munich anymore and I feel it’s time to leave.
“I think I’m ready for an experience abroad, including Italy, but I know that a number of sides are after me in England too, namely Manchester City and Tottenham.
“My final choice will not be influenced by money, as my only desire is to play, possibly for a big side.”
