Bailey's agent discusses Roma transfer following Malcom reversal

Leon Bailey's agent Craig Butler has played down transfer rumours linking the Bayer Leverkusen winger to Roma.

The Serie A side were set to sign winger Malcom from Bordeaux this week before the move was sensationally hijacked by Barcelona, who sealed a €41 million (£36.5m/$48m) deal for the 21-year-old.

As a result, Roma are still in the market for new attacking talent, with some sources speculating that they could look to sign Leverkusen's Bailey.

The 20-year-old has been linked with Bayern Munich, while Manchester City also weighed up a move earlier this summer, but Butler says that despite the rumours, there has been no contact made about the Jamaica-born attacker.
