AS Roma fight to keep Cafu

First Published: Jul 02, 2002

Manchester United and Arsenal both want World Cup winning Brazilian captain Cafu to move to England.

The AS Roma right back had an offer to join Chelsea last year with a new contract now on offer from the Italian side after he played in his third World Cup final on Sunday equalling Pele's record.

Roma president Franco Sensi wants to keep Cafu at the club where he has spent the last six years and has made an improved contract offer to the defender to try and keep him away from English interest.
