AS Roma could move away from one Juventus target and focus on Soule
AS Roma is looking to sign at least one attacker from Juventus this summer, and recent reports have linked them with a move for Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa has been struggling to find his best form at Juventus, and there’s uncertainty about whether a managerial change will resolve the issue.
Despite Juventus’s efforts to bring out his best, Chiesa’s performance hasn’t met expectations. With only a season left on his current deal, Juventus wants to extend his contract, but Chiesa’s camp has rejected their offer.
This rejection may prompt Juventus to sell him, and AS Roma has expressed interest in the Euro 2020 winner.
However, securing Chiesa’s signature may prove challenging for Roma. As an alternative, they are now considering another Juventus star: Matias Soule.
According to a report on Tuttomercatoweb, if Roma cannot acquire Chiesa, they will turn their attention to Soule. The Argentine forward is available for transfer after an impressive loan spell at Frosinone, making him an attractive option for Roma.
Chiesa needs to sign a new deal soon or leave the club this summer because losing him as a free agent in 2025 will be embarrassing.
AS Roma are interested in signing RC Lens’ Andy Diouf (21), according to a report from L’Équipe. Despite only joining the club in a €14m deal last summer, the France youth international could be allowed to leave in the coming weeks.
Diouf arrived at Lens after a promising spell with FC Basel. He helped lead the Swiss side to the latter stages of the UEFA Europa Conference League. Not only did that form lead to a big-money return to Ligue 1, it also earned him a nomination for the Golden Boy Award. Diouf ultimately finished 21st in the ranking.
However, in his debut season at the Bollaert, Diouf has struggled for consistency. He has yet to live up to te price tag and, under the new austere regime imposed by the club’s owner, he may be seen as a bankable asset. Lens would not be willing to make a loss on the player, but they would be willing to discuss a transfer, should it be possible to recoup that €14m fee.
AS Roma, who recently appointed Florent Ghisolfi, formerly of OGC Nice, as sporting director, are showing an interest in the Frenchman.
