Roma are close to matching Palmeiras’ asking price for Richard Ríos and could submit a new offer for Flamengo right-back Wesley today.
Roma hope to soon gift Gian Piero Gasperini the first summer reinforcements for the 2025-26 season.
The Giallorossi held talks with Palmeiras on Wednesday night, submitting a new offer of around €30m, including add-ons.
Palmeiras’ asking price is €30m plus bonuses, but the Giallorossi believe they have fulfilled all the requirements to reach an agreement with the Brazilian club.
As far as I know, Roma have not yet booked medical tests for Rios, contrary to reports by other media.
One thing is clear: Lens midfielder Neil El Aynaoui has always been Roma’s secondary option for central midfield.
Another possible reinforcement from South America is Flamengo right-back Wesley.
The Giallorossi could send a new offer today, and for now, the Brazilian has rejected any other club as he only wants a move to the Stadio Olimpico.
