The Graphic Sports writes that a high powered delegation of Accra Hearts of Oak will leave Accra for Rome next week to negotiate for the club's possible 20 per cent share in the Stephen Appiah transfer purse from Udinese to A.S Parma which Hearts are being denied.

The paper reports that Hearts, who were about to petition the world football governing body, FIFA through the GFA over the issue received a fax message from mediator, Domenico Ricci, to meet Udinese officials in Rome to settle all differences.

Club former Chief Executive, Mr. Commodore Mensah is reported by the paper as saying Hearts signed a watertight agreement with Udinese during Appiah's transfer to which should guarantee Hearts 10 billion cedis as their share of the midfielder's move to Parma. "I have come out of retirement to fight the Stephen Appiah case for my club and my name," Mr. Mensah is reported as saying.
