Roma look to Deulofeu

By Football Italia staff

Roma are looking towards Gerard Deulofeu more than Sassuolo’s Domenico Berardi to replace Mohamed Salah, it’s reported.

Salah was sold to Liverpool for €42m plus €8m in performance-related bonuses.

Berardi had been the natural heir, especially after Coach Eusebio Di Francesco took over, but Sassuolo’s asking price of over €25m is proving tricky.

Instead, Mediaset Premium claim that Roma are turning their attention towards Deulofeu instead.

The Spain international spent the last six months in Serie A on loan at Milan, scoring four goals with three assists in 17 appearances.

He is technically owned by Everton, but Barcelona have a buy-back option worth €12m and are expected to activate it.

However, Deulofeu is unlikely to get much regular playing time at Camp Nou, so could be loaned out again or sold.
