Roma close to Raspadori agreement after latest meeting

Multiple sources in Italy claim that Roma are close to reaching an agreement with Giacomo Raspadori after a meeting with the striker’s agent on Wednesday.

Roma are close to signing Raspadori from Atletico Madrid, according to several sources in Italy, including Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Giallorossi director, Frederic Massara, travelled to Milan on Wednesday to hold talks with Raspadori’s representatives and according to Gazzetta, the Italian striker also attended the meeting remotely via video call.

Corriere dello Sport adds that Roma increased their offer for Raspadori by €500,000 to reach a full salary of €4m per season.

The Giallorossi have already reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid for a €2.5m six-month loan deal with an option to buy for €19m.

According to reports, Roma are now close to reaching an agreement with the Italian striker, even if Napoli remain interested in securing his services, just six months after sending the 25-year-old to Madrid on a permanent deal.
