AS Roma are currently facing some difficulties in the summer transfer window, with negotiations for Rodrigo Mora and Luis Henrique proving problematic. The club is exploring other options and is being cautious with their offers.
The transfer of Rodrigo Mora has not gone as planned, and the deal is now in jeopardy. According to Corriere dello Sport, Luis Henrique is not totally convinced about joining Roma for the time being.
Roma have tested several options, but they have not yet convinced Porto to sell. Their latest offer was a season-long loan with a conditional obligation to buy, but the counterpart has rejected it as they want to be certain about the sale, at least for next year.
Roma will keep trying for Mora before pivoting toward different targets. They are willing to offer up to €50 million, but only with the right formula, considering they are plotting more acquisitions.
For Luis Henrique, Inter are open to letting him go for €25/30 million after securing Djed Spence. However, the Brazilian speedster is taking his time to decide where he really wants to leave San Siro for the Olimpico. He is wary that Roma already have two high-profile wing-backs, Wesley and Nahuel Molina. Roma cannot start haggling on his personal terms until he embraces their project. Both clubs have Malick Fofana on their shortlist, should they target another man on the flanks.
Our Take on Roma, Mora, and Luis Henrique
Considering how their summer has gone so far, the longer a deal takes, the less likely it becomes. Roma generally don’t insist on players that aren’t thrilled with joining them right away. We’ll see whether Gian Piero Gasperini will intervene to persuade the Nerazzurri outcast, as he’ll play more than enough thanks to the subs, rotation, and his versatility.
