The transfer market of Roma is ready to kick-off. Sky Sport reports that Roma and Inter are engaged in talks for a swap deal involving Leonardo Spinazzola and Matteo Politano.

Nicolò Zaniolo’s injury changed some of Roma’s transfer market plans and they’ve zeroed in on their former Primavera player as a new reinforcement. Talks regarding the move came about within the last 24 hours and have been aided by the fact the two players share the same agents (Pennacchi and Lippi).

The two clubs are discussing the transfer formula and in the next few hours, there will be renewed contact between the parties to figures out each player’s valuation — it’s possible the deal even closes in the coming hours.
