New contacts with the entourage of the Viola winger: the Giallorossi want to close immediately to avoid the relaunch from Turin. A loan with obligation is on the table

Collaborator

January 16 – 8.39pm – MILAN

An acceleration to avoid Juventus overtaking and deliver the third reinforcement to Gasperini. Roma are serious about Niccolò Fortini and in the last few hours they have had new contacts with the left winger’s entourage. The intention is to close the deal by the beginning of next week to prevent competition from becoming more insistent. In Trigoria there is optimism.

the proposal

Fortini, whose contract expires in 2027 and very little will to renew it, is one of the profiles indicated by Gasperini to strengthen a left flank weakened by the Angelino situation and the Tsimikas flop. It would be the Greek (returning to Liverpool) who would make room for the 19-year-old from Lucca who would initially alternate with Wesley in the Giallorossi. The first contacts date back to a couple of weeks ago and Fiorentina is willing to listen to offers given the possibility of a total capital gain. Juve appeared and this convinced Massara to increase the pressure. Roma will put around 15 million on the table, probably with the loan with obligation to buy formula. Five less than Fiorentina had initially requested. Massara tried to include Baldanzi in the negotiation (now one step away from Genoa) and would now be willing to facilitate Bailey’s move to Florence given that it would interrupt the loan with Aston Villa for the Jamaican 6 months early.

it doesn’t end here

– A possible connection, but which is not necessary for the success of Fortini’s transfer to Roma. At the moment therefore the Giallorossi are in pole position even if a Juventus relaunch in the next few hours cannot be ruled out. For Roma it would also be a prospective investment just as Robinio Vaz was. Not the last one. Gasperini, in fact, still expects a reinforcement in attack. Zirkzee sent two signals today: his absence in training and the like on Roma’s post about Malen. Not much to make the marriage happen. In fact, Ferguson’s exit is needed first to make room for the former Bologna player. The alternative is a high winger always on the left.
