Roma are yet to secure a replacement of Romelu Lukaku for next season.
With Lukaku and Belotti gone, the Giallorossi are required to add at least one more striker to their roster.
However, the search has proven more difficult than anticipated given that Roma were counting on Tammy Abraham’s sale as part of their transfer budget.
With Abraham unlikely to leave the capital, Roma must veer to a plan B, and secure a cheaper option on the market.
Thus, Leggo reports that Roma have been monitoring Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The 27-year-old is coming off a brilliant season in the Premier League and is very reminiscent of Romelu Lukaku in terms of characteristics.
His wages are also deemed affordable by Roma’s standards.
