Dutch club PSV Eindhoven has made a significant move in the transfer market by offering €9 million to AS Roma for their versatile winger Nicola Zalewski. The 21-year-old Italian-Polish player is reportedly considering the proposal, which could see him leave Daniele De Rossi’s squad before the transfer window closes.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how Zalewski, who has been a part of Roma’s first team since 2021, has attracted attention from several clubs due to his potential and versatility. Earlier in the transfer window, there were discussions about a possible swap deal involving Zalewski and Napoli’s Cyril Ngonge, but those talks did not materialize.
PSV’s interest in Zalewski comes as the Eredivisie giants look to strengthen their squad for domestic and European competitions. The Dutch club, known for developing young talent, sees Zalewski as a valuable addition to their attacking options.
For Roma, the offer presents an opportunity to cash in on a homegrown talent and potentially reinvest in other areas of the squad. However, De Rossi may be reluctant to lose a player of Zalewski’s potential, especially given his ability to play in multiple positions across the midfield and attack.
As Zalewski contemplates his future, the coming days will be crucial in determining whether he remains in the Italian capital or embarks on a new challenge in the Netherlands. The transfer, if completed, could have significant implications for both clubs as they finalize their squads for the 2024-25 season.
