Roma must defend themselves from transfer attacks of Arsenal and Man United

For years now, Roma have been a source of great players and a team that has kick-started the career of many now world class players, from Mohamed Salah at Liverpool to Radja Nainggolan at Inter and many more. However, the fans are not convinced of this 'sustainable' strategy anymore and would like a team capable of winning trophies, which goes hand in hand with keeping the best players of the team.

And despite experiencing a bad start to the season, Roma still have many players to offer on the transfer market. For example Lorenzo Pellegrini, who is a target of Manchester United and has a release clause set at 30 million euros that can be triggered from the 1st to the 31st of July next year.

Another player who is attracting interest from abroad is Cengiz Under, who scored a fantastic goal yesterday against Inter. In particular, Arsenal are a team greatly interested in the services of the Turkish international and are ready to make a bid of 50 million euros to lure him to the Emirates Stadium.

However, Roma sporting director Monchi is in negotiations with both players to increase their salaries and extend the contracts that tie them to the club from the capital. And Monchi knows that keeping both players is in the best interest of the Giallorossi management, as another exodus from the Stadio Olimpico during the summer transfer market, could be a step over the patience line of Roma supporters, who have been experiencing many big departures from the club for years now.
