Roma consider Borja Valero

By Football Italia staff

With Miralem Pjanic joining Juventus, Roma look at Borja Valero, but Fiorentina want at least €20m.

Today both directors Mauro Baldissoni and Beppe Marotta announced Pjanic had made a formal transfer request, activating the €38m release clause in his contract.

The race is on for Roma to find a suitable replacement in midfield.

According to Il Tempo newspaper, the main target is Fiorentina’s Spanish talent Borja Valero.

However, he is considered a key figure in Paulo Sousa’s side and they won’t let him go for under €20m.

The 31-year-old scored four goals and provided five assists in 37 Serie A games this season.
