Schick leaning towards Roma

By Football Italia staff

The Patrik Schick situation rolls on with new reports the Sampdoria striker is more inclined towards Roma, despite Juventus and Inter bids.

It has been a soap opera since Schick first agreed terms with Juve in June, then the move collapsed when he was diagnosed with a slight cardiac issue during his medical.

Over the last few days, the Giallorossi have worked out a deal with Samp, but the player had still been leaning towards Inter.

Juventus even re-emerged as an option last night, but Sky Sport Italia claim this morning that the Czech Republic international is finally close to a decision.

Schick is now almost convinced that he should join Roma, who are in the Champions League and would offer regular playing time in a trident attack.

Another meeting is expected today between Sampdoria directors, including President Massimo Ferrero, and Schick’s entourage.

Sportitalia claim Juventus informed Samp they will not raise their bid beyond the €30.5m that has already been turned down, so Schick could join Roma this weekend.
