Roma are working on multiple tables to find a new center-forwards but aren’t close to landing Youssef En-Nesyri or Jonathan David, who have emerged as their top targets in recent days. The departure of Tammy Abraham would help them a lot, but there’s little traction about it for now.
According to Sky, Fenerbahce are currently leading the race for the Moroccan talisman having lodged a €20M bid. They are proposing a higher salary than the Giallorossi. José Mourinho has gotten in touch with the player to convince him to join. The Turkish club is putting pressure on Sevilla to decide on their offer quickly.
Roma tested the waters for Lille given the competition for En-Nesyri but ran into some troubles in this case too. Lille have already turned down two bids from them even though his contract is up in 2025. The player prioritizes a transfer to the Premier League at this stage. He’s evaluating staying and letting his deal expire to choose his next club on his own in a year.
The capital club wants to offload Abraham, whose wages are cumbersome. However, they want €25M, which isn’t facilitating his exit, Corriere dello Sport relays.
Our Take on Roma, En-Nesyri, and David
They are going big-game hunting relative to their capabilities, but they might come up empty-handed. Like in Enzo Le Fée and Matias Soulé’s cases, it feels like they’ll be more prone to going the extra mile economically speaking if they find a talent at an okay price tag. There’s a non-zero chance they’ll have to settle with keeping Abraham and rolling the dive with an unproven but cheap prodigy.
