Moreira on Roma radar as Greenwood battle rages on elsewhere | OneFootball

Roma have identified another target in Belgium’s Diego Moreira of RC Strasbourg, but Fenerbahce and Atletico Madrid continue the battle for Mason Greenwood.

The Giallorossi are in search of a striker who can attack on the left side of a trident, and Greenwood was the first choice for coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

They seemed to have withdrawn from the race on Wednesday when Fenerbahce had offered €40m plus a further €2m in add-ons, but today L’Equipe insist Atletico Madrid are back in the running.

It’s reported the Spaniards are offering €45m plus €5m bonus, but that they’d be the preferred option despite a lower salary because Greenwood lived in Madrid previously for Getafe and would like a return.

Either way, Roma look as if they have given up on the England international, and are looking at other candidates.

The latest is Moreira, who is currently playing for Belgium at the 2026 World Cup, where he was on the field in the victory on penalties against Senegal.

He was sold to RC Strasbourg by their sister club Chelsea in the summer of 2024 at a cost of €8.5m.

Turning 22 next month, Moreira has represented both Belgium and Portugal at youth level before committing to the country of his birth.

Gasperini and new Roma director Tony D’Amico had already shown an interest in Moreira when they were still working for Atalanta, but the Gazzetta dello Sport warn the asking price is now €40m.

His salary would be considerably lower than the one Greenwood is commanding, though.

Another alternative mentioned in the media is Dan Ndoye of Nottingham Forest.
