Roma have been searching for a wing-back for quite some time, even more so after Zeki Celik\u2019s about-face, and they have recently been focusing their efforts on Ivan Fresneda, while Abde Ezzalzouli has emerged as a candidate to shore up their frontline, Alfredo Pedull\u00e0 reports.<\/p>\n
The Giallorossi<\/em> have spoken with Sporting CP and the defender\u2019s camp three times recently. His valuation is around \u20ac17\/18M plus hefty bonuses. They haven\u2019t decided to push for him for the time being, but he\u2019s one of the few players on their list. He headed to Portugal from Real Valladolid for \u20ac9M in 2023 and has racked up 81 appearances, scoring 4 goals and dishing out 3 assists.<\/p>\n In addition to tracking Fresneda, Roma poked around Ezzalzouli, but he\u2019s as pricey as their other offensive targets, some of whom have fallen through. He has hit the net 29 times and provided 18 helpers in 128 games with Real Betis. He has starred 37 times with Morocco.<\/p>\n The Giallorossi<\/em> haven\u2019t given up on trying to acquire Antonio Nusa, but the negotiation is very complex. Instead, on the wing, they placed a small bid for Club America\u2019s Israel Reyes. They tendered \u20ac2.5M, while the counterparty asked for a lot more, \u20ac7M, Mexican publication Excelsior<\/em> reports. He\u2019s been a stalwart for his current team for the past 5 seasons, featuring 146 times.<\/p>\n They need multiple wingbacks after the Celik fiasco and likely won\u2019t be able to splurge for two, especially since their interest in signing a big-ticket attacker hasn\u2019t waned despite capturing Santiago Castro. Wesley and Devyne Rensch\u2019s versatility gives them flexibility, but they should decide where they prefer using the former before adding.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Roma, Fresneda, and Ezzalzouli<\/h3>\n
