Newcastle United, Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich – the list of those who are interested in Matthias Ginter in the TM rumor mill is long. The 28-year-old is free after the end of his contract with Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer and has almost free choice with his next employer. According to “Sport Bild”, another lead leads to Italy to AS Roma.
Accordingly, coach José Mourinho was very interested in the national player and even made initial contact, with further talks to follow in the coming weeks. Roma are seventh in Serie A after 25 matches and are in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification for the fourth consecutive season. With 32 goals conceded, the defensive is not the only construction site, but it is also not one of the best in the league, which is why it should be upgraded in the summer if possible.
Ginter, who with a market value of 24 million euros is one of the most valuable professionals who can be had for free in the summer, could remedy the situation. The right-footer should be lured primarily with a whopping salary increase. According to the report, at least a doubling of his current salary of 4 million euros is possible in Italy.
If he switched to Roma, Ginter would be the seventh German in the Giallorossi club’s history. Before Antonio Rüdiger, who was under contract for one season in 2015/16, there were three world champions in the 90s with Rudi Völler, Thomas Berthold and Thomas Häßler (to all Germans at AS Roma).
