Evan Ndicka could be on his way out of AS Roma just days before the kickoff of the new season. The Ivorian defender has caught the eye of Neom SC, who seem determined not to let him slip away.

After overcoming some physical setbacks, the 25-year-old centre-back has returned to training with the Giallorossi and appears ready for the new campaign. However, Gian Pero Gasperini will need to remain cautious, as he could lose his key player once again—this time, possibly for good.

Indeed, the Ivorian international (19 caps) is firmly on Neom SC's radar. The newly promoted Saudi side are ready to break the bank to convince Roma to part ways with their defensive leader.

The Saudi representatives will use the pre-season friendly between Roma and Neom SC, scheduled for August 16 at the Benito Stirpe Stadium in Frosinone, as a chance to finalise negotiations.

Everything will depend on the fee offered by the Saudi club, as Roma have already turned down a €25 million bid from Al-Nassr just last week.
