Exclusive: Roma pondering summer sale of €18m Watford, Las Palmas target
This year? He’s a luxury reserve, one who could be tempted by the interest of Las Palmas, Watford or Fiorentina, the three clubs recently linked to him by Italian colleagues TransferMarketWeb.
With the likes of Mohamed Salah, Diego Perotti and Radja Nainggolan overtaking him in the starting lineup, the Italo-Egyptian star has seen his season be reduced to a mere ten league starts, and only three Serie A goals in 21 total appearances.
He doesn’t seem to have the same feeling with Coach Luciano Spalletti, though so far there is no evidence of any break-up, and no incident.
Roma are set to work out what to do this summer, when an €18 million investment like El Shaarawy (€13m of that went to Milan) will be evaluated. A lot will depend on Coach Spalletti himself, as well as the striker himself.
Roma certainly don’t want to sell him off cheaply, but another three months at these levels won’t help…
