Richard Rios is Roma’s top midfield target.
Giallorossi sporting director Frederic Massara is at work to secure the midfielder’s arrival.
An agreement with Palmeiras is still pending, as the Brazilian side remain firm on their €30 million asking price.
The distance between the two clubs now appears to be minimal.
Roma’s new offer to Palmeiras for Rios is €27 million plus €3 million in bonuses.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, however, the Brazilian club’s asking price is a fixed €30 million, excluding bonuses.
The same request was made to West Ham and Zenit: both clubs were willing to pay, but the player wants to move to Italy.
