Roma Eye Fiorentina Fullback, Ponder Pair of Departures | OneFootball

Roma will be active both ways in January and have set sights on Micheal Kayode to shore up their right flank, while Enzo Le Fée and Nicola Zalewski are drawing suitors.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Parma, Brentford, and Brighton are tracking the Fiorentina fullback too. The Viola could sign off on his departure, but the formula remains to be determined. They might send him to a minnow on a straight loan so he can play regularly. However, they could accept to insert a rich option to buy.

Roma wouldn’t just add Kayode for six months and are also looking to come to terms with Olympique Marseille for Zalewski and Real Betis for Le Fée. The former has played just 17 minutes in the past 5 matches. His contract expires in June. The negotiation to prolong it has been on hold for a while, Sportitalia reports.

The Pole will most likely be sold for a good offer. The Ligue 1 side is evaluating him along with a few other options for the left wing. Instead, the La Liga outfit prefers the French midfielder over Arthur, who’s on his way out at Juventus but has a large salary, TuttoSport informs (via OneFootball). The 24-year-old could leave temporarily with a clause, but he was purchased for €23M last summer.

Our Take on Roma, Kayode, Zalewski, and Le Fée

The talent has some defensive shortcomings, and a 3-5-2 scheme would fit him best. It doesn’t look like the renewal is happening for the Pole, but he could be a nice bargaining chip in some swaps. The Frenchman should get a real chance before being shipped off.
