Roma consider Depay loan

By Football Italia staff

Roma are reportedly looking to bring Manchester United winger Memphis Depay on loan in January.

The Giallorossi will lose Mohamed Salah to the African Cup of Nations in the winter, as he’ll be representing Egypt.

That will leave them short on the wings, and Corriere dello Sport believes that sporting director Ricky Massara is working to bring Depay on loan.

Having joined Manchester United from PSV under Louis van Gaal, the Dutch international hasn’t found space with Jose Mourinho.

The Giallorossi would therefore take him on a six-month loan, with an option to buy in the summer for a significant transfer fee.

The Red Devils paid €30m to bring Depay to Old Trafford, so the fee to sign him outright would need to recoup the majority of that.
