Roma readying offer for Strasbourg’s Diego Moreira, Chelsea out of the picture | OneFootball

Serie A side Roma want to make a major attacking signing after missing out on Mason Greenwood and an incoming can come in the form of Strasbourg’s Diego Moreira.

Get Italian Football News have looked at the club’s interest and how initial talks have been held. Chelsea have also informed Roma that they do not want to exercise their buyback option for the Belgian.

Gianluca Di Marzio now has updates, making it clear that the winger is Roma’s most concrete target. The Giallorossi have a €30 million offer ready and are happy to offer a 10% resale fee.

Strasbourg have asked a higher fee of about €50 million but Jorge Mendes is helping them out, as he represents the player on a formal basis. He could make sure that the parties come closer, now that Belgium are out of the World Cup after losing to Spain yesterday.

No Chelsea involvement key

Roma were willing to pay a significant amount for Mason Greenwood and it feels like they are willing to do the same for Moreira, especially if Mendes helps. It appears as if the clubs can reach a middle-ground, especially as there is no involvement from Chelsea.
