AS ROMA NEWS – With Mats Hummels’ future increasingly far from Trigoria, Roma is moving to identify a new defensive leader ahead of next season. The German, whose contract is expiring, looks set for a farewell and the Giallorossi do not want to be found unprepared.
The most talked-about name is that of Leonardo Balerdi, Marseille’s central midfielder, but the French are stonewalling and raising a provocative demand: “With 20 million they can take a pinky.” A high valuation, which complicates the negotiations, but does not rule out new attempts.
Also remaining in the running are Noahkai Banks, a young Augsburg talent whom Ranieri knows well and has already called personally to convince him to move to Rome, and Oumar Solet, a powerful former Salzburg center back now at Udinese. Both are more futuristic profiles, but with interesting margins for growth. Finally, keep an eye on Mika Marmol, whom Ghisolfi had already followed in January and who could return to the spotlight in the coming weeks. Casting for the after Hummels has officially begun.
