FREDDIE Ljungberg's future could lie in Italy after West Ham technical director Gianluca Nani revealed he had fielded a number of calls for the recently-released midfielder.
The 31-year-old Swede left the Hammers yesterday - only 12 months after joining from Arsenal - despite having one year and an option for another to run on his contract.
Injuries have slowed Ljungberg's career in recent seasons and he failed to make much of an impact in 25 appearances with the Hammers last term.
Despite that it seems the two-time Premier League winner is still in high demand in Italy with Nani revealing a number of clubs had shown interest.
Nani told Il Romanista: "I have received calls from every part of Italy - Florence, Milan - and to be honest I have no idea where he will end up.
"I knew Roma liked him, but I don't know whether this has changed. Ljungberg has a high wage demand and it may be difficult for the Giallorossi to get him."
