MILAN, June 20 - AS Roma midfielder David Pizarro is now fully owned by the Serie A side after they came to an agreement with Inter Milan, who had previously held half his registration.

Roma said in a statement on Wednesday that the deal was worth 5.75 million euros ($7.72 million).

The Chilean was instrumental in helping Roma finish second behind champions Inter in Serie A last season. He spent the 2005/06 campaign with Inter having previously been at Udinese.

Italian media speculated that the deal could have paved the way for Roma's Romanian defender Cristian Chivu to go to Inter.

However, Roma later issued a statement saying they were not in talks to sell their main defender and that the discussions with Inter were only connected with the Pizarro deal.
