Liverpool flop Andrea Dossena's agent hopes his client will be allowed to leave Anfield so he can secure a World Cup place with Italy.
The Italian left-back has struggled to make much of an impact since moving to Merseyside from Udinese in the summer of 2008.
He has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland, with Napoli making no secret of their interest, but a move failed to materialise in the summer.
Dossena's representative Federico Pastorello indicated last week that a January transfer could be set to go ahead.
And Roberto La Florio, another of Dossena's agents, has even suggested that a loan move would be one option just to give the defender some regular football.
La Florio has, though, played down reports suggesting Roma have also entered the chase for his signature.
"The will of Andrea returning to Italy is now clearly established," La Florio told Radio Kiss Kiss. "I hope that Liverpool give Andrea the possibility to go to play, also on a loan, to regain a spot in the World Cup.
"Napoli? Officially there is nothing, because the market will open only in January.
"Last summer there was every reason for his move to Napoli, but then it didn't finish well. Interest of Roma? I've not had direct contacts with this club."

"redordead, then why don't u scold the fans who call Man u , manure, women united etc. Seems like the Kop maturity is roughly the same level. yudinho, I don't care if you beat us every season if we keep winning the EPL. You guys have 2 "cup final" which is vs man u a season, we actually go for real silverware. Those go down in history, not your 6 month bragging rights.

"ibbyDon, your a halfwit. How old are you? your post was the sort of thing you get in the playground.
This whole 'loserfool' thing that many united fans use is so childish.
Funny how are team of flops have hammered you the last three times we've played.
I dont know why I bother reading any of the Liverpool stories on here. Every time I do its full of puerile comments from united 'fans'.
Grow up!!"
