Roma`s initial offer of €20 million plus add-ons for Flamengo`s full-back Wesley has been turned down. Meanwhile, they are preparing a bid for RC Lens midfielder Neil El Aynaoui, expected to be around €25 million including bonuses.
It`s well known that the Giallorossi are operating under tight financial restrictions for their transfer dealings, requiring them to approach potential signings with staggered offers.
This approach can be frustrating for both the club`s supporters and players keen on joining Gian Piero Gasperini`s squad.
Wesley and El Aynaoui Await Roma Deals
Wesley is one such target; reports indicate his asking price is a firm €25 million plus add-ons.
Considering this, Sky Sport Italia reports that Flamengo predictably rejected the first official bid of €20 million plus add-ons, although talks are ongoing.
The same source also suggests Roma is preparing another offer, this time for RC Lens midfielder El Aynaoui.
This new bid is expected to be €22 million plus an additional €3 million in bonuses. This total is significantly below Lens` reported €30 million valuation, making immediate acceptance improbable.
