Roma are hoping to secure Rick Karsdorp’s sale in this transfer window.
The Dutch fullback has long been excluded from Roma’s plans for next season.
In the last weeks of the season, Karsdorp was demoted to the bench where he stayed even during the friendly with Milan in Australia.
De Rossi does not consider him for his project anymore and the player is now looking for a new club to join.
As reported by Corriere della Sera, AEK Athens have come forward as potential suitors.
The Greek giants have opened talks with Karsdorp’s entourage and negotiations are progressing rapidly.
For Roma, Karsdorp’s sale would be a blessing as it would enable the club to save almost €4 million in gross wages.
