Vida or Rojo for Roma?

By Football Italia staff

Roma have reportedly turned to Domagoj Vida and Marcos Rojo as it is claimed Liverpool pulled the plug on Dejan Lovren’s proposed move.

Lovren looked all set for Roma until the deal fell through, seemingly over his demands of a €1m bonus.

However, Goal.com argues it was Liverpool who called off the transfer after sensing the Giallorossi were deliberately trying to unsettle the defender with the intention of driving his price down.

As per the website, the Lupi had come down from a £15m (€16.4m) permanent deal to a ‘cut-price’ loan arrangement.

With that in mind, Roma are now being tipped to make late moves for Vida and Rojo.

Lovren’s Croatia teammate was heavily linked with the capital club in January, whereas the Argentine stopper is keen to leave Manchester United.
