Roma are going all-in on Youssef En-Nesyri to replenish their attack. They have lost Romelu Lukaku and plot to offload Tammy Abraham. The player would gladly accept the destination, but the competition to sign him is rather fierce, Il Messaggero reports.
The marksman makes about €1.4M in Spain. An agreement on the salary isn’t hard to find. He’d set for a small pay bump should he move to the Italian capital. On the other hand, Fenerbahce and Al-Qadsiah are outbidding the Giallorossi both on the fee and the wages.
Roma will need help from En-Nesyri to fend off the other suitors. The negotiation would proceed quickly if he stated he only wanted to join them. Sevilla would rather send him to Turkey, as José Mourinho’s new side offered €30M. The Saudi club put even more money on the table, but the center-forward is disinterested for now.
The Giallorossi declined to insert Edoardo Bove in the deal, which doesn’t facilitate the talks. They are keeping in touch also for Alexander Sorloth, but Villarreal insist on a valuation in the same ballpark as his €38M release clause. Instead, Georges Mikautadze is moving to Olympique Lyonnais, which hijacked his transfer to Monaco.
Our Take on Roma and En-Nesyri
The Giallorossi have set up a few deals at reasonable but not low costs. It’d be a tremendous achievement if they landed the plane in this case as well after snapping up Enzo Le Fée, whose pursuit was similarly challenging, while not partying ways with any linchpin.
