Roma eyeing Leo Scienza to replace El Shaarawy | OneFootball

Roma will say goodbye to Stephan El Shaarawy at the end of his contract, and the departure of the Giallorossi’s number 92 will force the Roman club to look for another attacking player.

Bryan Zaragoza will also leave Trigoria, and a signing on that side of the pitch will be a must: this time, the Giallorossi don’t want to make a mistake.

Among the names being explored is Leo Scienza.

The Southampton winger has seven goals and ten assists in 44 appearances and is playing in the Championship playoffs, which could lead the Saints back to the Premier League after their relegation in 2023.

The performances of the 1998-born player have attracted the attention of Europe’s top clubs.

According to Sky Sports Germany, more than €30 million could be needed to snatch Leo Scienza from Southampton.

In addition to Roma, Everton, Tottenham, and Aston Villa in the Premier League, and Atalanta in Serie A, are also interested.

Flamengo and Palmeiras are also reportedly interested in bringing him back home, but the player would prefer to play on Europe’s top stages.

A stay with Southampton would also be a possibility if they were promoted to the top flight.

The only certainty is that the transfer market for the Brazilian winger is set to heat up this summer, with the Roman club keeping an eye on him.
