The Latest AS Roma News
All of Monday's Roma-related rumours from the press, including updates on Cengiz Under, Mirko Antonucci and two new goalkeeper suggestions.
Under in contract negotiations According to Turkish Football, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal remain interested in Roma winger Cengiz Under, who is valued upwards of €50m. Roma are currently trying to tie him down to an improved deal, despite his contract already running until 2022. Willems confirms Roma interest Dutch left-back Jetro Willems has confirmed his intention to leave Eintracht Frankfurt this summer, name-checking Roma as one of the clubs who are interested in him. The 25-year-old former PSV man told VTBL that Newcastle United are also hovering. Roma losing in Di Lorenzo chase One player who has entered the thoughts of Roma is Empoli right-back Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who could be signed in the event of Rick Karsdorp leaving. According to Tuttomercatoweb, though, Napoli are currently ahead of the Giallorossi in the battle to sign the 25-year-old. Antonucci and Frattesi returns considered According to Calciomercato.it, Roma are looking at the youth they have available for next season. Winger Mirko Antonucci could return from his loan spell at Pescara (turning down fresh offers from Sassuolo and Brescia), while Roma could exercise their €10m buyback option on midfielder Davide Frattesi, who was sold to Sassuolo as part of the deal that brought Lorenzo Pellegrini back to the capital in 2017. Frattesi has spent this season on loan at Serie B club Ascoli, where he has been a key player. Former Juventus keeper considered It is common knowledge by now that Roma need a new goalkeeper, with Antonio Mirante set to return to being backup next year despite his impressive run of form. Gazzetta Dello Sport state that one of the names under consideration by Roma is Valencia's Neto. The 29-year-old previously played in Serie A for Fiorentina and Juventus. Gasperini to go for Perin Another alternative idea for the goalkeeper role has emerged. One of the main names linked with becoming Roma's next coach is Gian Piero Gasperini, and according to Calciomercato.it, if the Atalanta tactician does arrive at Trigoria, he might want to be reunited with Juventus goalkeeper Mattia Perin, who he used to coach at Genoa. First contact made with Bielsa Over the weekend, Leeds United's Marcelo Bielsa was linked with the head coach role at Roma, and according to Sky Sport Italia, James Pallotta's advisor Franco Baldini has made the first contacts with the Argentine. However, the Yorkshire Evening Post report that Bielsa is increasingly likely to stay with Leeds for a second season. Totti to become technical director Corriere Dello Sport claim that Roma are set to give a more defined role to former captain Francesco Totti, after two years of an unspecified 'director' position. The 42-year-old is set to become a technical director, making more decisions on recruitment of players and coaches. Want more Roma news on your timeline?
