Roma s right-back signs: Wesley first asks for 30 million euros, Zorthea s alternative is 10 million

According to the "Roman Sports", Roma's signing targets at the right back position include Wesley and Zortea.

Roma needs to introduce a main player at the right back position this summer, and Flamenco's Wesley is Roma's first choice target. The 21-year-old Brazilian player had previously participated in the Club World Cup with the team. After Flamenco was eliminated, Roma had already started the transfer and had his first contact with Flamenco. Roma will continue the new strategy of signings that began last summer, which is to focus on buying young players and control salary costs.

Wesley's current annual salary is only 400,000 euros. If he joins Rome, his annual salary will not exceed 2 million euros, which meets Rome's requirements. However, Flamenco asked Wesley for 30 million euros. Rome sports director Masala hopes to add conditions such as floating bonuses and second-transfer share in the negotiations to reduce the fixed transfer fee.

There is another option, that is, Everton signs Wesley and then loans the player to Roma, and Roma has the right to force a buyout. Both Everton and Rome belong to the Friedkin family, and Everton has no European game next season, so it is less pressure on the rules of financial fair play. Roma rents first and then buys Wesley, and can postpone the cost of buying out the player until next summer to pay, freeing up funds for other signings this summer.

Since Riyadh Crescent decided to introduce Teo and gave up signing Roma's left-back Angelino, Roma no longer needs to introduce new players in the left-back position this summer. Roma can also add all the funds originally planned for left-back signings to Wesley's transfer negotiations.

Of course, Rome also has an alternative, that is, Zortea of ​​Caglia. The 26-year-old Italian right-back is from Atlanta youth training and has worked with Roma's current coach Gasperini. Zortea joined Cagliari last summer, making 37 appearances last season, scoring 6 goals and assisting 2 times. Cagliari's asking price for Zorthea is 10 million euros.

Since Chelic focuses on the right center back in the second half of last season, Roma currently has only Lensch and Abdul Hamid, who will leave this summer. "Roman Sports" said that if Lunsch is also rented for training by Rome this summer, then Rome may sign Wesley and Zortea at the same time.
