Baptista To Make His Debut Against Inter

Julio Baptista is likely to make his debut against Inter in the Supercoppa on Sunday after his transfer papers arrived in the Italian capital. The player’s transfer was finally signed, sealed and delivered this afternoon as the remaining paperwork arrived in Rome from Madrid. He is now eligible to make his first appearance for his new side and that is likely to be against the Italian Champions. Baptista has been training hard since his arrival in the capital last week and he cannot wait to begin his new adventure with the Giallorossi. Luciano Spalletti is keen on giving him a run out and Il Corriere Dello Sport claims the ‘Beast’ will play against Jose Mourinho’s side. The former Real Madrid hit man is ready to prove his worth as he looks to establish himself as a regular feature in the Giallorossi’s side. Roma have played second fiddle to the Nerazzurri in recent years and they are ready to begin reversing that trend this weekend. The Brazilian is likely to partner Francesco Totti and Mirko Vucinic up front as both players have recently recovered from various setbacks.
