English defender Chris Smalling is closing in on an exit from the capital club.

After five seasons with the Giallorossi, Smalling is ready to start a new chapter in his career.

As reported by Il Tempo, Al Fayha’s latest approach was accepted by the player.

Negotiations between Roma and the Saudi club are at final stages.

Despite being called up for tonight’s match with Juventus, Smalling’s presence is merely of technical nature – without him, Roma would have only two centrebacks at their disposal.

After tonight’s game, Smalling is expected to depart Rome and travel to Saudi Arabia to undergo his medical with Al Fayha.
