The Latest AS Roma News
All of Tuesday's Roma transfer rumours in one place - including updates on Alessio Cragno, Kostas Manolas and Gregoire Defrel.
First Cragno offer rejected Roma have had an €18m bid for Cagliari goalkeeper Alessio Cragno rejected, according to La Nuova Sardegna. The bid for the Italian shot-stopper included the loans of a couple of Primavera players - including Luca Pellegrini, who spent the second half of the season in Sardinia - but Cagliari are holding out for €25m. Any negotiations over Pellegrini will come separately. Dragowski a goalkeeping alternative If the Cragno asking price is deemed to be too high, then Roma will set their sights on Bartlomiej Dragowski from Fiorentina, who impressed on loan at Empoli last season. Il Romanista observe that the player is keen on the move, but Brighton and Southampton are also interested. The future of Robin Olsen must also be resolved, with the Swede more likely to leave on loan (to a club in England) than permanently, due to the risk of making a loss on the €8.5m that was spent on him last summer. Perotti makes intentions clear Diego Perotti has pledged his future to Roma in an interview with Fox Sports Argentina, in which he declared: "I want to respect my contract with Roma." His deal runs until 2021. Three players to be sold to balance books After their failure to qualify for next season's Champions League, Roma need to raise around €45m to balance the books. According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, that will be accomplished with the sales of three big names - Kostas Manolas, Edin Dzeko and Cengiz Under. Inter considering Roma raid Antonio Conte is set to revamp his newly inherited Inter squad, with several Roma players linked. Dzeko is the closest to making the switch, with a €13m offer in the pipeline, while full-backs Aleksandar Kolarov and Alessandro Florenzi have also been linked. Sport Mediaset now add a fourth name to the list, claiming that Manolas could make the move to San Siro. Kolarov denies Red Star move Another club linked with Kolarov is his childhood team Red Star Belgrade, but at a press conference on international duty, the former Manchester City man said there was no truth to the rumours yet. Shakhtar waive Fonseca fee Roma are closer to making a decision on their next manager, with it apparently being a two-horse race between Paulo Fonseca and Roberto De Zerbi. According to Corriere Dello Sport, the former could be allowed to join Roma for nothing by his present club Shakhtar, despite the €5m release clause in his contract. The Ukrainian giants will not begrudge him the opportunity to work in a bigger league after three successive league titles. Dalic agent alert suitors Fonseca, however, is waiting for reassurances from Roma, meaning other candidates are not out of the equation just yet. A new contender is Zlatko Dalic, who guided Croatia to the semi-finals of last year's World Cup. His agent, Sokol Haxhia, has confirmed to Il Tempo that he is trying to arrange for the 52-year-old to coach at an "ambitious" Serie A club. Former midfielder could return as coach Due to Fonseca's doubts, Tuttomercatoweb claim that former Roma midfielder Luigi Di Biagio is rising up the list of potential managerial targets. He is currently in charge of the Italy U21 side. Ten Hag approach turned down One man who will not be taking over as coach is Erik Ten Hag, with Dutch paper De Telegraaf claiming that Ajax have rejected Roma's approach to speak to him due to Monchi's failed negotiations for Hakim Ziyech last summer. The report claims that last season's Champions League semi-finalists feel Ziyech was mistreated by Monchi when a deal was not agreed between the clubs. Defrel decision depends on coach Pagine Romaniste assess the futures of the players Roma sent out on loan last year, and claim that Gregoire Defrel, who enjoyed a productive spell at Sampdoria, will not be sold until the new coach arrives. Optimism remains that, despite his woeful first season at Roma, he could still be a part of the project. However, another striker who has had a fruitful season away from Trigoria, Ezequiel Ponce, is likely to be sold. Arnautovic under consideration According to The Sun, West Ham forward Marko Arnautovic could make a return to Inter this summer. However, Roma are also considering a move for the Austrian forward.
