RomaPress – Roma have ramped up their transfer pursuit of Juventus attacking midfielder Matias Soulé, hoping to land an important signing for manager Daniele De Rossi.
A source close to the player confirmed to RomaPress there was a meeting late yesterday that ended around 21.30 CET between the Giallorossi and Soulé’s agent, Martin Guastadisegno.
After lengthy discussions, the two sides reached agreements on personal terms and agent commission—Soulé adamant he favors a move to the Italian capital over Leicester City, who are also keen on his services.
Roma will now shift their attention to Juventus and work to find an agreement over a transfer fee for the 21 year-old. To date, they haven’t made presented any official bid to the Bianconeri, who’ve remained steadfast in their €35 million price tag.
While the Giallorossi consider the price excessive, they’re aware they must work quickly to overcome the pressure being applied by Leicester City. The Foxes already had an offer worth €25 million (including bonuses) rejected by Juve, but they’re expected to present an improved proposal within the next 48 hours.
In the meantime, Guastadisegno is scheduled to meet with Juve officials on Wednesday during which he’ll attempt to persuade the club to lower their asking price to help facilitate a move to the Italian capital.
