Roma are making incremental improvement in their chase of Matias Soulé, while Juventus are mulling over whom to target to replace him. The Bianconeri turned down an improved offer from the capital club, but the gap is shrinking.
According to Sky, the Giallorossi tendered €25M plus €4M add-ons. The counterparty wants at least €30M. There’s room to negotiate concerning the structure of the offer. Per Alfredo Pedullà, the Old Lady could accept €28M plus €5M bonuses, with a couple of them easy to activate. In addition, they’d like a small resale clause.
Roma are in the lead because Soulé is eager to join them and put the Premier League destinations on hold. The Giallorossi will have to decide whether to make the final step or move on.
The Turin-based outfit plans to eventually make a splash on the wing after selling Federico Chiesa and Filip Kostic too. They are tracking three Porto players, Pepe, Galeno, and Francisco Conceiçao. They like the first one the better. Instead, the second addition would probably be a loan. Jadon Sancho has made up with Erik Ten Hag, so his departure is more unlikely. They got in touch with Borussia Dortmund to ask for Karim Adeyemi, but they were met with a €40/45M request, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Our Take on Roma, Soulé, and Juventus
It looks like the two teams are getting there, and his price tag, while not cheap by any stretch, is manageable considering the fees going around abroad. The Bianconeri will likely spend a lot less than what they’ll pocket from the trio, so they won’t land a very expensive player.
