The Friedkins have decided: Malen will be bought out.
There will be no need for presidential meetings to decide the fate of the player who single-handedly brought Roma’s attack to a huge leap in quality.
Sporting director Frederic Massara will therefore be able to proceed with the permanent purchase of a player valued at €25 million during the negotiations with Aston Villa.
A completely transformed Roma, both in terms of personnel and ideas, will emerge around Malen.
As Corriere dello Sport reports, El Shaarawy and Dybala are set to leave when their contracts expire on June 30th, and Pellegrini, without a turnaround in the coming weeks, is also headed for the same conclusion.
With the savings on the gross salaries of these three players, covering just one year, Roma will be able to pay the Dutchman’s full price.
Added to these departures are those of Zaragoza and Venturino, both at risk despite their €7 million value.
Given this situation, Massara would rebuild his entire squad of forwards, wingers, and attacking midfielders between June and July.
