The transfer axis connecting Roma and Milan is heating up, with Roma’s sporting director Florent Ghisolfi actively working on multiple fronts. Calciomercato report that while Inter’s Davide Frattesi remains the top target for Roma, the negotiations with Milan are becoming increasingly intriguing, with new names entering the discussions. For the first time, Matias Soulé’s name has been mentioned in these talks.
The key to these negotiations is Alexis Saelemaekers. Since his return from a long-term injury suffered at the beginning of the season, the Belgian winger has significantly improved Roma’s offensive play. Currently on a dry loan in the capital, Saelemaekers arrived last summer in exchange for Tammy Abraham, who moved to Milan under the same terms. Ghisolfi is now working to secure Saelemaekers’ full rights immediately, and this potential permanent transfer is sparking a broader negotiation.
Meetings have already taken place, and more are scheduled. According to the reports, Milan have inquired about the possibility of including Matias Soulé in the deal. Roma promptly rejected this request, despite the fact that the former Juventus player has struggled to find playing time this season under De Rossi, Juric, and now Ranieri.
The negotiations are ongoing, and if Milan were to include the potential redemption of Abraham, new scenarios could open up, possibly including Soulé. As it stands, Roma are not willing to part with the Argentine talent, but the situation remains fluid as both clubs continue to explore various possibilities in this complex transfer dialogue.
