The season officially ends in sixteen days, but in fact Leonardo Spinazzola’s adventure with Roma is already over. The Giallorossi club has in fact officially decided not to renew Foligno’s contract, which has expired and is ready to empty Fulvio Bernardini’s locker as soon as he returns from holidays with his family in Dubai. The news left a bitter taste in the mouth of the thirty-one former Juventus player, especially because Rome now means home. His and his family. And because in Rome he found a family, and leaving his friends Pellegrini, Mancini and Cristante will not be easy at all. Someone within the squad tried to convince the management group to renew the full-back’s contract, but by now Ghisolfi and Souloukoualso under the input of the strategies dictated by Friedkinthey had made the decision: Spinazzola, over thirty and with a certain propensity for injuries, can no longer be an asset for the club. Nor an indispensable player for the team that is trying to rejuvenate itself and also lower costs.
Spinazzola bids farewell to Roma after five seasons
Roma gets rid of a 3.2 million euro contract. Naturally in the case of renewal the figure would have dropped, but not enough to give room for changes in the company’s ideas. Spinazzola says goodbye after 151 games, 7 goals and 21 assists in five long and intense seasons. Between ups and downs, between joys and sorrows. The Conference League victory that came after the long Achilles tendon injury that kept him out for almost a year is probably the best memory of his adventure in the Giallorossi. After all, a trophy is never forgotten.
The future of Spinazzola
Now Leonardo will have to find a new team to start from and with which he will probably end his career. In Italy, mid-range clubs have appeared and Napoli has asked for information, while the possibility of Saudi Arabia is not ruled out, a destination that would intrigue both the player and his family. However, other destinations abroad are not fascinating, but never say never: if there is a club willing to give him a starting shirt and a two-year or, better yet, three-year contract, at that point Spinazzola could reconsider the idea.
The others
The left wing then changes ownership, with Angeliño ready to compete for the starting place with the future purchase, but the right lane is also ready for upheavals. Because once Ghisolfi manages to give in, let it be Celik that Karsdorp (Kristensen will return to Leeds after the disappointing loan), two new additions will arrive to change pace and guarantee the manager strong, fast and useful players in the two phases. The revolution has started and the first to say goodbye will be Spinazzola.
