[LNB]Goalkeeper Given is warming the bench at Eastlands after losing his place to Joe Hart and the 34-year-old has been linked with a move away. [LNB]Roma were interested during the summer and Trapattoni, Given's international manager, believes he should consider the Italian top flight to reignite his career. [LNB] Frustration: Given has not played a Premier League game for City this season[LNB]He said: 'Me and Marco (Tardelli, Ireland assistant boss) have spoken with some Italian teams. Shay is kept in high regards by many clubs but goalkeeper is a difficult position. [LNB]'One or two Italian teams need a goalkeeper. There is interest in him. There are clubs in Italy with inferior goalkeepers. If he has the opportunity, maybe he will ask to leave City.'
