How Roma plan to sign Mason Greenwood and why deal shouldn’t be pursued | OneFootball

Serie A side Roma now find themselves very close to possible Champions League qualification, despite appearing to be in crisis just some weeks ago. Fortunately, it is Milan who are in crisis and the Giallorossi are now dreaming about landing a major target.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the player in question is Mason Greenwood. Gian Piero Gasperini belieevs he can strike up an excellent partnership with Donyell Malen, with the Italian having expressed the need to strengthen the attack to the Friedkin ownership.

If they qualify for the Champions League, a move for Greenwood will be difficult but very much possible.

This would be especially true due to sales. Matias Soule is a target for Aston Villa and Manu Kone can yet end up at Inter. Gasperini will not mind their sales, with the Marseille player valued at €50 million right now.

The relationship between Roma and the French side is quite good, as Robinho Vaz ended up in Rome in January. They can capitalise on this, with Greenwood believed to be viewed as someone who can revolutionise the Roma attack.

Roma should avoid deal

There is always an elephant in the room to be addressed whenever one mentions Greenwood. He comes with off-field baggage that can never be ignored and for Roma, it should be something they can easily avoid.

Apart from that, there have also been question marks over the Englishman’s attitude, which may not sit well with Gasperini. The Italian himself is a divisive character and adding another controversial personality may not help the scenario.
