An interesting development could be happening in the market of Roma.

As reported late this evening by PagineRomanista, Sassuolo attacker Grégoire Defrel had been spotted in Rome with his agent, Giampiero Pocetta, at a popular restaurant in Piazza del Popolo. The Frenchman could be the the next purchase of Roma: the club have offered €2 million for the loan of the player with an obligation to buy for €8 million. However, Sassuolo want €20 million for be player.

The only certainty is the structure of the operation: the sides are working on a loan for 18 months with an obligation to buy due in June 2018. Meanwhile, Roma also plan on paying €10 million for Pellegrini in the summer and have already informed Sassuolo.
