Roma have identified Gonçalo Guedes as the right piece to add to their frontline. They have serious ammunition to facilitate the negotiation with Valencia. The winger has just one year left on his deal and does not plan to extend it.
According to Corriere della Sera, the Spanish club is asking for €40M to part ways with their star. However, they are unlikely to get that much considering his contractual situation. The forward is represented by Jorge Mendes, the same agent as José Mourinho. He helped the Giallorossi broker the transfers of Sergio Oliveira and Rui Patricio in recent windows.
The 25-year-old has bagged 13 goals and provided 5 assists this season. It is his most productive one since joining in 2018. He spent the winter holidays in Italy, and he said that he loves the Peninsula, Calciomercato.com informs.
Roma could use Carles Perez as a partial makeweight to lower Guedes’ price tag, Tuttomercatoweb informs. Valencia have expressed interest in the Spanish winger. The Barcelona product has not featured much in the last few months and will likely leave in the summer. He recently switched his agent to find a new home. Los Murcielagos also eyed outcast Amadou Diawara in January.
With Nicolò Zaniolo facing an uncertain future, the Giallorossi are on the hunt for attackers. Roma have Filip Kostic on their radar as an alternative to Guedes, Alfredo Pedullà informs. The Serbian winger, who was targeted by Lazio last year, has not extended his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt. He would still welcome a transfer to Serie A.
