– ROME

The non-Russian revolution, said a famous slogan in the newspaper “Il Manifesto”. If politics didn’t run the risk of hives coming to US property, they could borrow it in Trigoria as well. Under the direction of José Mourinho, in fact, the desire to make a sort of clean sweep in some departments is great. In midfield the arrival of Matic is already shifting the balance, but also in attack Roma are starting to play a real game. Almost at the final stages the negotiation for Ola Solbakken, the 23-year-old forward of Bodo Glimt, who will expire his contract in December and with whom there is already an agreement with the player, the hypothesis of a paired “line green-experience ”which could be of great interest to the Special One. These are Dries Mertens, 35, released from Napoli and fresh out of rust with the Neapolitan club for the renewal of his contract, and Yunus Akgun, 21, owned by Galatasaray, but who in the season just ended he played in Adana Demirspor of Vincenzo Montella.

How many exits

Of course, everything has to fit in with the expected outputs. Despite the English sirens, Tammy Abraham is considered immovable for next season, while the Zaniolo issue is the one that will orient a lot, but will not dissolve soon. At the start, however, there are Carles Perez, who likes Villarreal, and El Shaarawy, who is interested in Monza and Atalanta. Different speech for Shomurodov and Felix. Uzbek, paid 20 million a year ago, is difficult to sell without making a loss, so eventually it could go on loan as well as stay. The Ghanaian, on the other hand, could remain without problems as an apprentice goalscorer, provided that he does not receive a loan request that guarantees him an adequate number of appearances.

Mertens idea

Moral: once space has also been made for new signings at the salary level, the Giallorossi management could consider another luxury free agent like Mertens. The Belgian, who often loves to come to the capital with his wife, was (also) offered to Roma, after Napoli rejected his requests for a salary of around 4 million. To put himself under Mourinho’s orders, the Belgian would also be available to go down to about 3.5 million, but the assessment must also be made in relation to the identity card, despite the 35 years of the attacker providing him with enviable integrity, as well as an extraordinary tactical flexibility.

Mou and the Airplane

The speech changes when we talk about Akgun. The boy closed a season with excellent numbers. In 39 games, in fact, he scored 9 goals and provided 17 assists. Short of left foot, he likes to start from the right to focus. In certain movements, also considering the lessons he had during the year, they say that he remembers Montella himself, who said of him: “Akgun is a class of 2000 with immense qualities. He is fast, quick in the strait, very technical and cold in front of goal. Unfortunately with us he is only on loan from Galatasaray. He is the player who has struck me the most among those who are here “. Turkish sources reveal that Mourinho would have called Montella himself to better explain the qualities of the attacker, who they say is now very close to the Giallorossi. The agreement with the player, given his age, is obviously not a problem, while the evaluation given by Galatasaray is around 7 million. Doable, especially if Akgun keeps everything he promises.

Berardi on the list

Speaking of left-handers already run in, the track that would lead to Berardi if Zaniolo left remains alive. The player – however Juventus is also on his trail – likes the Special One who, at prices not exceeding 20 million, is also interested in Frattesi del Sassuolo. It goes without saying that the boy, who grew up in Trigoria, would return to Rome with great pleasure. To close the attack speech it is to be noted that from Valencia the news of the interest of the Giallorossi club for the Portuguese Guedes, who has been close to Roma for some time, is gaining ground. The feeling, however, is that before deciding on major investments, the Friedkin family wants to see how the domination of sales continues, starting with the eventual one of Zaniolo. In fact, that will be the real watershed of the Rome market.
