Il Tempo journalist Alessandro Austini has reported that while the negotiations for Riyad Mahrez have not completely faded, it is still a difficult operation.
Should the Giallorossi fail to reach an agreement with Leicester for Mahrez, they could turn to a more established name like a Juan Mata or Juan Cuadrado type of player; as Emre Mor seems more in the background.
Borsino esterno Roma aggiornato: Mahrez non è sfumato, se salta si prova per giocatore affermato (tipo Cuadrado o Mata), Emre Mor defilato
