Roma run out to time to sign Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling | OneFootball

Serie A side Roma had been working on a move for Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling in the last few days. Just when they seemed to be making progress in the deal, it appears they will now definitely miss out.

Alfredo Pedulla reported earlier today that the Giallorossi made a fresh push for the German, who had previously not given a greenlight to the deal. Roma had earlier reached an agreement with Stuttgart but the player’s decision had held the move back.

Now, Gianluca Di Marzio has reported updates, making it clear that there isn’t enough time to complete the deal.

Roma were anyway facing a race against time to seal the move. But now, there is certainty the versatile winger will stay at the German club.

This does come as a bit of a blow to Roma, as Gian Piero Gasperini had been keen an extra attacking signing. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens’ idea hasn’t taken off yet, with Malick Fofana nearing a move to the Premier League.

Leweling could’ve fit the squad role perfectly, as he wasn’t going to be a regular starter but wouldn’t have minded a status of that kind.
