Roma defender Marash Kumbulla has made his return to the capital with the objective of convincing Gian Piero Gasperini to bet on him ahead of next season.
The Albanian centreback is coming off an impressive loan spell in La Liga with Espanyol.
However, the Spanish side did not pursue a permanent deal for him.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport, Kumbulla has made it clear to the people around him that he will try to remain at Roma by convincing newly appointed head coach Gian Piero Gasperini in preseason.
In case Gasperini was to decide to look for another defender in his place instead, Kumbulla would seek other solutions in European top flights.
