Paredes heading to Roma

By Football Italia staff

Roma are reportedly in pole position to land promising Argentine youngster Leandro Paredes.

The attacking midfielder, still just 19, has been on the radar of Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini – a man who is renowned for his knowledge of the South American market.

According to Sport Panorama, the Serie A leaders have basically done a deal with Boca Juniors for his signature.

Roma, however, will not be able to sign him until next season given his non-EU status at the moment.

Atletico Madrid were also interested in the Argentine Under-17 international.
