Roma have been offered Memphis Depay, who’s still searching for a new home deep into the summer. He left Atletico Madrid as a free agent in June. He’s training in Monte Carlo these days. His entourage is proposing him to a few sides, Voetbal International reports (via Pianeta Champions).
Porto and an unnamed Premier League side have shown the most interest. The attacker isn’t considering a return to the Eredivisie as he’d like to play at higher levels.
Roma plan to sign another attacker, preferably a left winger, and have been tracking Jeremie Boga, Federico Chiesa, and Ricardo Riquelme throughout the summer before the Depay possibility surfaced.
The Giallorossi’s window is lagging because of the potential departure of Paulo Dybala at the moment. The affair has turned into a stalemate. The amount of the fee is a significant part of it, La Repubblica reports. If a team had activated his €12M release clause in July, a large part of it would have gone to the player. He and his camp would still want a slice if he departed now, while the club insists that the income would all be theirs now. On the other hand, Al-Qadsiah might table a very small offer if they convinced La Joya, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
Our Take on Roma and Depay
He’d be one of the few players they could sign whether Dybala stays or leaves, but they have only targeted young-ish players with modest wages this summer, differently from what happened during the José Mourinho and Tiago Pinto era.
