Norwich City midfielder Gabriel Sara is the latest name to be linked with a summer move to Roma.

The Brazilian talent is one of the profiles Roma are evaluating to strengthen Daniele De Rossi’s midfield ahead of next season.

According to calciomercato.com, Sara is a player Roma are quite familiar with: the club’s head scout, Jose Fontes, has been monitoring the midfielder for several months and is a big admirer of his.

The news portal claims that Sara was recently offered to Roma.

Giallorossi manager Daniele De Rossi is keen on Sara and considers him a good fit to replace Renato Sanches.

Sanches’ loan at Roma will come to an end next week and the Portuguese international is expected to return to PSG.

As a result, Roma are making considerations regarding Sara as a viable alternative.

The costs involved would not be that low since the player has a contract expiring in 2026 (with the option to renew for another year in favor of the club) and having arrived from San Paolo two years ago for €10.5 million euros.

The news portal suggests it would at least €15 million to sign Sara who collected, this season alone, 13 goals and 12 assists in 48 games.

At the moment there are no ongoing negotiations but Roma remain vigilant on Sara.
