Roma are likely to part ways with Ola Solbakken following their offensive additions, and Sassuolo and Olympiakos are engaged in a transfer duel to secure his services. The Giallorossi are leaving the choice up to the player, Gianluca Di Marzio informs.
The winger doesn’t appear keen to stay and fight for minutes following the additions by the capital club in his role. The formula of his departure remains to be determined.
Solbakken is decisively leaning toward Olympiakos over Sassuolo at the moment. He joined on a free transfer from Bodo/Glimt last January. He has appeared in 14 matches, mostly off the bench, scoring once and setting up a teammate twice.
After a lengthy and tumultuous search for reinforcements up front, the Giallorossi signed both Sardar Azmoun and Romelu Lukaku on initial loans from Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea, respectively. Paulo Dybala, Andrea Belotti, and Stephan El Shaarawy complete their frontline.
Our Take on Solbakken
He never hit his stride in the capital club, where he didn’t have the chance to star in his best role out wide. Even though Domenico Berardi is staying, it’s about time the Neroverdi signed a decent backup, as they are in big trouble whenever he’s unavailable. They should find one elsewhere if they missed out on the Norwegian attacker as it seems.
