Roma have already signed a midfielder, but a couple of exits could lead to another addition to the role. In particular, they remain in the race for Boubacar Kamara. However, the prodigy is in high demand and has lofty requests.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Valencia are trying to sign Amadou Diawara. The Giallorossi are open to moving him since he has not gotten many minutes so far. The Spanish team wants him on loan. Moreover, a few Serie A sides have inquired about signing Ebrima Darboe with the same formula.
Even though they are not regulars, Roma would have to search for another midfielder if both left the club. They have more trouble coming to terms with Kamara rather than with Olympique Marseille. The French club are settling for a small fee since he is on an expiring contract. They owe the Giallorossi €20M for the Pau Lopez and Cengiz Under deals. The transfer of the goalkeeper became permanent over the weekend as the conditions to trigger the obligation to buy were met.
The 22-year-old will depart in the summer at the latest. He is asking for €5M wages, which is too high for the Italian outfit. Sergio Oliveira, who just joined, earns half such sum. On top of Roma, also Manchester United, Newcastle, and West Ham are tracking the up-and-coming midfielder. José Mourinho stated in the most recent presser that he does not anticipate a third January acquisition. However, he suggested they need more high-caliber players after squeaking by Cagliari.
