Romario is one of the options for Necaxa, therefore its directives seek to talk with him to establish his wages and other demands, said Perez Teuffer after his arrival to Mexico City's International Airport (MCIA).

Los Rayos de Necaxa arrived Thursday night to MCIA after losing2-1 against Audax Italiano in Chile in their last game of Copa Libertadores' Group Five.

The Brazilian soccer star seeks his 1,000th career goal, so besides reinforcing the Mexican club in the second phase, Perez Teuffer wants the champion of the World Cup 1994 to accomplish his goal in Mexico.

Necaxa's president said they will manage to pass to the second phase, and to do so they must defeat Peru's Alianza de Lima on April 25 at the Victoria stadium in the central Mexican state of Aguascalientes.
