Roma have shifted their attention to Rodrigo Riquelme of Atletico Madrid.

After deciding against the continued pursuit of Federico Chiesa due to the player’s evident reluctance, the capital club have gone back to one of their first rumored targets of the summer.

According to Leggo, the Giallorossi have lined up Riquelme as the main alternative to Chiesa.

The Spanish winger is considered even more in line with the capital club’s project.

Talks are expected to pick up between Roma and Atletico in the coming days.
