AS Roma is looking for a defender to strengthen its defense, while Inter eyes Mancini. The Roma defender pleases Chivu with experience and knowledge of Serie A. Mancini has characteristics that are noticeable at San Siro: anticipation, aerial game, aggressive marking, emotional presence. He is not a silent profile. He is one of those who raises the volume of the line, talks to the referee, keeps the team awake when the game is slipping away. In the next season, the Inter squad may become even more blue, with Bastoni (who however pleases Real Madrid), Di Marco and Marco Palestra. After Dumfries' almost certain departure and doubts about De Vrij's permanence, Marotta is strongly targeting the Atalanta outside. Mancini for Roma is instead one of the team's references. The contract until 2027 makes every discussion linked to a real negotiation, not to a sale opportunity. The market value indicated by Transfermarkt is 15 million, but a starting defender, Italian, with two years of contract, hardly moves at that price if the selling club does not have an urgent need for cash. Mancini's estimated gross salary is around 6.48 million per season. For Inter, it means evaluating not only the player's card, but also the weight on the payroll. On a three-year contract, a purchase of 15-18 million would generate an annual amortization of 5-6 million, to which add the gross salary. Overall operation above 10 million per year on the balance sheet. Roma, in case of sale, could register a margin if the residual value of the player's card had already been reduced after the purchase from Atalanta. Also consider the 10% clause in favor of the Dea on the excess over the already matured compensation. A high sale would give oxygen, but would take away from Gasperini a first-line defender. For Inter, the temptation is clear on the field. Mancini knows the championship, does not get scared in front of a full stadium, can play in a three-line and has the advantage of being Italian. The price will say if it will become a negotiation or will remain a name from the start of the market.
