Roma must raise Ghilardi offer, but get Verona benefit

Roma continue their negotiations with Hellas Verona for defender Daniele Ghilardi, who will cost over €10m, spread out as a loan with obligation to buy.

There had been reports for several days of strong interest in the centre-back and the talks have been progressing well, but have still not reached a conclusion.

It was already stated by multiple sources that the opening €9m plus bonuses proposal was rejected, and that they would increase it to reach double figures.

That has now happened, but the €10m bid is still considered insufficient, so they are trying to bridge the gap with performance-related bonuses.
