The Roma it was released on the market. The signing of Paulo Dybala on a free transfer seems to have given the green light to a series of possible incoming transactions, which can strengthen at least numerically the squad available to Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese coach wants a greater depth of squad, which can also match a fair amount of experience. And the names of Zagadou e Wijnaldum respond to this need. These are the profiles on which Roma are working: if, however, Zagadou seems more accessible to take, Wijnaldum is more complicated to entrust to Mourinho.
Rome, very strong interest in Zagadou: contacts with the defender started
Roma intends to strengthen the back department with a defender who can be economical and, at the same time, particularly flexible. Dan-Axel Zagadou fully corresponds to this identikit. The footballer, born in 1999, grew up in the youth academy of Creteil he was born in Paris Saint Germainbefore arriving at the Borussia Dortmund. This is where his first experience as a professional player took shape. This parenthesis turned out to be quite long, as it lasted for 5 years. From 2017 until the end of this season, Zagadou managed to play 85 times, scoring 4 goals, all of which were scored in the Bundesliga.
The numbers are decent, but they could have been higher if he had played the 83 games he lost due to a constant series of injuries. There are 603 days in total, in which he was unable to make his contribution to Borussia Dortmund. This data makes you think and also made the leaders of Rome think, which, however, intends to burn the possible competition from Inter, to which the player has been proposed in recent days. In addition to Inter, there is also competition from Monaco who was about to close the deal and from West Ham, which is looking for a replacement for the long-term patient Aguerd. The acceleration decided on Zagadou occurred for two main reasons: the first is due to the fact that the 23-year-old defender is currently without a contract; the second consists in the refusal of the offer equal to 10 million eurossent to Bragantino Red Bull per NATHAN.
Rome, Wijnaldum demands too much
If the deal linked to Zagadou seems to tease Rome, as it is economically accessible, the situation regarding Wijnaldum is decidedly different. The Dutch midfielder is joined by PSG by a very expensive two-year contract.
And it is precisely this condition that holds back the possible negotiation. Wijnaldum is on the edge of PSG and he would like a change of scenery, but, to do so, he asks for a salary that is too high for the Roma coffers.
