Roma announced the arrival of Andrea Belotti Sunday, and Mady Camara is next in line. They have reached agreement with Olympiacos to sign the midfielder. He will replace the injured Georginio Wijnaldum. He will reach Italy either Monday or Tuesday.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi will spend €1.2M for the initial loan. They will have the faculty of activating a €12M option to buy in 2023. The Greek team will receive a percentage of a future sale. He leaves the Piraeus after four years and 181 matches. He would have probably headed to Monza if the Dutchman didn’t get hurt.
Roma accelerated their pursuit after a call between José Mourinho and Pedro Martins, who coached Camara for four seasons. He provided strong references for the new newcomer. In addition, the capital side managed to avoid the inclusion of an obligation to acquire him permanently in the deal. They will make the call in a year after examining his performances.
The Giallorossi plot to conclude their reinforcement campaign with a defender. It could arrive from PSG as well, as they are eyeing Abdou Diallo, Foot Mercato relays. Milan are no longer after him. They face competition from West Ham and Borussia Dortmund. They will try to concoct the same formula used for Wijnaldum. Their previous target Eric Bailly has joined Olympique Marseille.
Our Take on Roma Adding Camara
The capital side continues to make the most of its limited resources. In that sense, their strategy has been much more streamlined than Juventus’ one, which are in a similar spot but seem all over the place. A reliable left-footed defender would allow them to be more at ease in what should be a grueling season.
