According to a report from Il Corriere dello Sport, no player at Roma is considered untouchable, including Argentine midfielder Leandro Paredes. The latest update from the newspaper suggests that Paredes could be on his way out of the club before the summer transfer window closes.
Roma’s sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, is actively seeking potential buyers, particularly in Saudi Arabia, for both Chris Smalling and Paredes. Despite previously rejecting an offer from the Saudi Pro League, Paredes remains a candidate for transfer. His aim is to spend one more year at Roma before returning to Argentina to play for Boca Juniors.
For Roma, selling Paredes would significantly enhance their transfer budget and alleviate their wage bill. The club is considering bringing in a more dynamic midfielder to replace him. Paredes is set to miss the season opener against Cagliari due to suspension, as evaluations regarding his future continue.
