Roma hope to get a discount on the €6m Legia Warsaw asking price for Jan Ziolkowski, as he reportedly prefers them to Borussia Monchengladbach.

The negotiations had already been advanced for the defender, who only just celebrated his 20^th birthday in June.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the talks are dragging on with Roma hoping to whittle down the request of €6m.

Ziolkowski only wants Roma

Transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano notes that Borussia Monchengladbach called up Legia Warsaw to ask for information, but that doesn’t mean this is going to turn into a bidding war.

Instead, he claims that Ziolkowski reiterated his preference for Roma, giving the Italians a boost in their hopes to negotiate an agreement for a good price.

He is a product of the Legia Warsaw youth academy and stepped up to the senior squad in January 2023 as a teenager.

The central defender only recently put pen to paper on a new contract, which runs to May 2028.
