Italian legend Totti - in his first foray as an agent - is reportedly the frontrunner to sign up Volpato as a client, who signed for AS Roma's academy last month. 

The Mixer is told Totti is fighting off competition for his signature including fellow legend Filipo Inzhagi and agencies from south-east Asia. Totti could potentially seal the deal by the end of this week. 

The player has already been approached by the Italian Football Association to become part of the U17 national team set-up since he signed for Roma in January. 

The youngster spent time at Sydney FC and Western Sydney Wanderers youth setup before catching the eye of scouts from Roma when he scored a hat-trick in a trial match. 

Remy Siemsen has clubs hot on her tail

REMY TO THE RESCUE 

Sydney FC's Aussie striker Remy Siemsen has interest from a number of NWSL clubs and is being monitored by clubs from the UK, Italy, Spain, Norway and Sweden. 

The Mixer has been informed Siemsen has had teams in the United States show interest in her since before the beginning of her breakout W-League campaign, and has offers on the table from around the world. 

If she makes a move overseas, she will be one of the first Australians to move abroad to an elite division before being capped for the Australian national team. 

The 20-year old has seven goals in 10 W-League games and is favourite to collect her first Golden Boot for Sydney FC. 

Sources close to the player say that game-time and the right country for development are paramount for her move, while Siemsen wants to finish the W-League season with Sydney FC, who are a chance of being Grand Final contenders once again.

The Manly United product spent a season at California Storm in the second tier Women's Premier Soccer League in 2018. 

Breaking into the Matildas will be a hard slog for Siemsen with Sam Kerr, Caitlin Foord, Hayley Raso and Emily Gielnik holding a vice-like grip on starting roles while all now also playing in Europe. 

Jacynta Galabadaarachchi (West Ham, England) and Mary Fowler (Montpellier, France) are favoured on the periphery of the squad. 

Olyroos players are in demand

OLYROO RADAR 

Qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics has sent interest in Olyroos through the stratosphere. Two more players have entered the radar for potential overseas suitors. 

The Mixer understands a club from Central Europe is keen on signing a young Aussie while Asian clubs are circling an Olyroo currently playing in the A-League. 

Degenek dodged a bullet

DEGENEK'S CORONAVIRUS CLOSE CALL 

A few weeks ago, Socceroos defender Milos Degenek was weighing up a $3million offer from Chinese Super League club Shanghai SIPG. 

Degenek's club Red Star Belgrade were prepared to sell the defender for the second time in 12 months but the move has gone quiet, potentially due to fears of the coronavirus. 

Degenek also received an offer from Wuhan Zall in the CSL, a team based in the Hubei province which is ground zero for the coronavirus outbreak. 

As of Tuesday, according to official figures Shanghai has 333 confirmed infections and one death. 

The threat of the virus is unlikely to fade before the Chinese transfer window closes on February 28. So far there are over 75,000 confirmed infections and more than 2,000 deaths, almost entirely in China.

"SHOULD HAVE GOT HIM IN JANUARY" 

Rangers supporters have taken to social media to voice their plea for the club to have a go at signing Australian forward Lyndon Dykes. 

The Aussie caused all sorts of problems for Rangers in Livingston's 2-1 loss to Steven Gerrard's side. 

His hold up play was fantastic and a vicious volley almost snatched a point if it weren't for the woodwork. The performance caused fans to lament Rangers passing up a supposed opportunity to sign the in-demand striker. 

The Scottish Daily Record's experts reckon Ibrox chiefs should swoop for Dykes before English Championship sides swoop and send his value soaring.

Rangers defender Niko Katic added: “When you play against a striker like Dykes it’s always tough  because he is really good.

“Almost he’s on the same level as Alfredo Morelos and I think he will become a really top player, it is always hard to play against him."

LAS GALLOS 

It's not often you see a rugby league club working with a professional football team, especially FC Barcelona. 

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson is using the 'Barcelona methodology' as a tool for his team to become a "winning club". 

In preparation for the World Club Challenge match against St Helens from Liverpool, The Rosters visited La Masia, used Barcelona's facilities and attended their 2-1 win over Getafe at Camp Nou.
