Heinze Poised To Join Roma

Argentinian defender Gabriel Heinze is on the brink of signing for Roma after leaving Marseille earlier this summer.

The 33-year-old is expected to pen a one-year deal with the Giallorossi, with the option for another season.

Heinze arrives at the Stadio Olimpico as a free agent after parting ways with Ligue 1 giants Marseille,who missed out on the title to Lille last term.

He travelled to Rome on Thursday to meet with club officials ahead of putting pen to paper on a deal.

The stopper, capped 71 times for the Argentina national side, arrived at Marseille from Real Madridin 2009.

Heinze also spent three seasons at Manchester United between 2004-07 before departing for the Bernabeu.

He has previously stated his desire to play in Italy having already turned out in Spain, England and France, while Roma's Serie A rivals Juventus were also thought to be chasing his signature.
