Roma have taken a significant step in their pursuit of Juventus’ talented Argentine winger Matias Soulé by submitting an official offer to the Bianconeri. This move follows Roma’s successful negotiations with the player’s representatives, reaching an agreement on personal terms.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how the Giallorossi have tabled an initial bid of approximately €26 million, including bonuses, for Soulé’s transfer. This offer comes after the player expressed his desire to remain in Serie A following an impressive loan spell at Frosinone last season.
Soulé’s preference to stay in Italy aligns with Roma’s project, which has evidently convinced the young Argentine. However, the negotiation process is just beginning, as Juventus is seeking a higher fee for their promising talent.
The transfer talks are expected to intensify in the coming days. Roma is reportedly willing to increase their offer up to €30 million, including bonuses, which would surpass Leicester City’s bid by about €1 million. This demonstrates Roma’s serious intent to secure Soulé’s signature.
Juventus, while open to selling Soulé, is looking to maximize their return on the player. The Bianconeri’s higher valuation sets the stage for what could be a complex negotiation process between the two Italian giants.
As the situation develops, both clubs will likely engage in further discussions to find a mutually agreeable transfer fee. Roma’s determination to land Soulé, coupled with the player’s preference for staying in Serie A, could potentially tip the scales in favor of a deal being struck.
