Agent: 'Cornet could be Roma player'

By Football Italia staff

Maxwel Cornet “could be a Roma player over the next few days,” said the Olympique Lyon winger’s agent. “I had contact with Monchi.”

The right-sided winger turns 21 next month and joined from FC Metz in January 2015.

“I don’t think Maxwell could be a Roma player within hours, but he could be a Roma player over the next few days,” agent Emmanuel De Kerchove told LaRoma24.it.

“I had contact with Monchi, but Roma have not yet formalised their offer to Lyon. So far there has only been an enquiry by the Giallorossi.”

The Ivory Coast international has French nationality and last season contributed 10 goals with three assists in 51 competitive games.
