Roma tested the waters for two Real Madrid starlets, Franco Mastantuono and Endrick, in the summer, but they ultimately came up empty-handed. The former just made history, becoming the youngest foreigner to score a hat-trick in Serie A, DAZN<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n According to Calciomercato<\/em>, the Giallorossi<\/em> were among the teams that tried to sign the Argentine during the past window. However, they wanted a permanent transfer, while Los Blancos<\/em> were adamant about continuing to control the player, so the talks didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n Mastantuono eventually moved to Fiorentina on a simple loan, with no option or obligation to buy, with the Viola<\/em> covering about half of his \u20ac3.5M wages, while Endrick didn\u2019t move at all, and Roma remain keen on him ahead of January, Corriere dello Sport<\/em> informs.<\/p>\n The Brazilian stayed put on Jos\u00e9 Mourinho\u2019s orders mostly because of Rodrygo\u2019s injury. However, he has yet to play a minute, as he\u2019s behind some stars and Carlos Esp\u00ec in the pecking order. His frustration is mounting. His January exit will steadily gain steam if the situation doesn\u2019t improve. The Giallorossi<\/em> rate him very highly and are ready to broach a deal similar to Nico Paz\u2019s one to bring him in.<\/p>\n Not being able to sell Matias Soul\u00e9 obstructed most of their plans, but he\u2019s faring well, so they can\u2019t complain about the outcome, even though they would have preferred more variety in their frontline. The Fiorentina loanee is very similar. Instead, the latter would indeed bring something different to the table, but those kinds of rentals aren\u2019t too palatable in the long run, and they aren\u2019t short-handed as it is.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Roma, Mastantuono, and Endrick<\/h3>\n
