It said the 33-year-old in his third season in Rome after nine years at Fiorentina had received a lucrative offer from Turkish side Fenerbahce who are currently top of the first division.
Club director Aziz Yildirim has lured Batistuta with a contract reportedly paying three million euros a year until June 2005.
