Roma has no more time to waste and now it must and wants to speed up to start getting serious on the market. Both incoming and outgoing. Because in exactly one week the meeting at the Fulvio Bernardini will start and De Rossi will only have ten players at his disposal today, some of whom have been included in the unwanted list. Few, waiting for the return of the national teams, not enough to begin preparation for next season. So waiting for some club to knock on the door to thin out the group of redundancies, now the head of the Giallorossi sports area wants intensify the dialogue with Rennes to bring Enzo Le Fée to the capital. And do it as quickly as possible, possibly before the start of the famous rally scheduled for next July 8th.
Rome, the negotiation for Le Fée
Let’s take a step back to the first offer presented by Ghisolfi to the French club. After the initial discussions, Roma offered Rennes around 15 million euros (bonuses included) to tear the player away and make him wear the yellow and red shirt. Offer returned to senderbut for a specific reason: a year ago the Breton club had spent 20 million to take him from Lorient, so the friendly response to Roma was to raise the offer in order to recover the amount invested twelve months ago. In fact, the reasoning is flawless. At least for the seller.
The figure for Rennes
So after a few days of work and dialogue, the Giallorossi now seem to have convinced themselves to raise the proposal which will be presented in the next few hours. Ghisolfi will put 18-19 million euros on the table, including (easy) bonuses. An offer that in Trigoria (where yesterday they denied their interest in Nicolas Valentini, central defender of Boca Juniors) they consider more than adequate for the value of the player who, among other things, wants a change of scenery.
The crossroads
And once Rennes receives the official communication, they will have two options: resist, knowing that there are currently no other clubs interested in the midfielder, or give in and accept the agreement with the Giallorossi. Rennes, among other things, cannot push it too far, given that at the moment they have a squad fit for Europe but without playing it. They finished last season in tenth place after having difficulty managing their commitments in the league and the Europa League, consequently, in terms of salaries and caliber of players, they need to reduce the group of players a bit, some of whom already have their bags packed.
