Jordan Veretout might leave Roma in the summer considering his demotion, but he will not join Napoli. His agent Mario Giuffredi openly admitted it: “They will not sign that kind of player. They already have experienced contributors in the role, such as André-Franck Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, and Piotr Zielinski. Their idea is to go after youngsters, which would be a savvy financial move. In any case, I think that the Azzurri will really start planning their transfer market only after they are certain of the Champions League qualification.”
The representative provided an update on the knee injury suffered by Giovanni Di Lorenzo to Radio Marte: “I hope he will return for the Roma game, missing only those against Atalanta and Fiorentina. We will know more about it in the next few weeks. He has already started rehabbing at the training center.”
Roma might cash in on Jordan Veretout in the summer. Tottenham and Milan have him on their radar, while Olympique Marseille inquired about him recently, Calciomercato.com informs. José Mourinho reportedly prefers keeping Sergio Olivera.
The Giallorossi will continue to search for a pure deep-lying playmaker in the next window. While they long to sign Granit Xhaka, they are the latest Serie A team to track Leandro Paredes, Corriere dello Sport informs. He could bolt if coach Mauricio Pochettino does not stay on the bench, as likely. CEO Tiago Pinto traveled to Paris during the break. The 27-year-old previously spent two seasons in the Italian Capital and is open to returning.
