Roma are back on Rodrigo Riquelme’s tracks.

The Giallorossi have not lost sight of the Atletico Madrid winger who continues to be a priority target for the capital club.

According to Spanish news portal relevo.com, Roma are ready to make a new attempt to secure the talented twenty-four year old, who has a market valuation of between 25 and 30 million euros.

The possible sale of Paulo Dybala to Saudi Arabia could provide Roma with the resources necessary to complete the operation.

Riquelme, who has already attracted the interest of Daniele De Rossi, has also attracted the attention of Girona, where he played on loan in the 2022/23 season.

The Giallorossi, however, seem to be in pole position for the purchase of the player.

Despite his satisfaction at Atletico, the Spanish club could be willing to sell him in the event of a convincing offer, given the need to raise cash.
