Roma will touch base with Fali Ramadani later this week, who represents Federico Chiesa and Marc Pubill. The Giallorossi are closer to the latter, who’s one of their top targets to address the right-back position, TuttoSport informs.
They haven’t added to their shortlist for now, which includes also Raoul Bellanova and Lorenz Assignon. They insist that they aren’t truly interested in the winger, but his name will most likely be brought up again in the summit, La Repubblica informs.
While the sticking point for Pubill is Almeria’s valuation, Roma and other sides have major reservations about the wages asked by Chiesa. That’s also the case for Juventus, which unceremoniously put him for sale since they couldn’t agree to a contract extension.
His agent has reached out to Milan too, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays. They might add another winger if they didn’t keep Alexis Saelemaekers and Noah Okafor. However, they pay close attention to their payroll and the dynamics inside their locker room. He’d come in with the same salary as Rafael Leao, their top-paid man, which could create issues. Tottenham and Chelsea aren’t really pursuing him at this stage despite his desire to transfer to the Premier League.
Our Take on Roma, Pubill, and Chiesa
The odds of the latter staying in Serie A if he leaves Juventus are very slim. A Bosman departure in 2025 is more probable than that. They need a left winger, but they will probably settle for a talent. The Spaniard would fit their MO, but they shouldn’t relent if there’s a chance to sign Raoul Bellanova.
