The Norwegian’s yellow and red adventure could already be at the end of the line. The Friedkin club is waiting for an offer
Could Ola Solbakken’s Roman adventure already be at its end? Yes, the possibility exists, also because the Norwegian forward has never managed to get into José Mourinho’s heart in these six months. And on the horizon there is strong interest from the Germans of Hoffenheim (who finished twelfth in the last Bundesliga), an interest already shown by sports director Andreas Muller in the Roma player’s entourage, starting with agent Anders Carlsson.

Solbakken arrived at Roma last January as a free agent, after having faced the Giallorossi with Bodo Glimt in the Conference League. In these six months, however, the Norwegian managed to play only 14 league games (of which 7 as a starter), with a total playing time of 503 minutes and an average of 36 per match. In short, a little, even considering the only goal scored against Verona. Mou was also hard on him at the beginning (“I can’t risk a player who doesn’t even know the difference between 3-5-2 and 3-4-2-1. He has qualities, but he has to learn with us”), then gave him more and more space. Now there is Hoffenheim who would like him and Roma are waiting for an official offer to be presented. Arrived on a free transfer, the transfer of him would be all capital gain, which means gold for the club’s coffers at the moment. At present, the Norwegian (who also scored in his national team’s last match, on 21 June opening the match against Cyprus) could be worth 6-7 million, but the request could be even higher to then reach that figure there . In short, Solbakken’s adventure in Rome could already be over. Just in case, there will be no regrets anywhere. At least that’s the impression.
