Transfer market, Rome: Xhaka and Koopmeiners immediately. In order not to repeat the Nzonzi mistake

Never again, at least in intention, a new Nzonzi. In 2018, Roma found themselves paying almost 30 million euros for Nzonzi, on which Monchi had been working for weeks, because in the meantime he had become world champion with France. The intention, in Pinto’s idea, is to try to close the first few shots before the start of the European Championship, at least as an economic agreement. The reasons? Do not participate in any market auctions and do not see the players’ cards rise.

In this sense, the Giallorossi GM, albeit young, has a lot of experience because when he worked in Portugal he always considered the time factor – combined with discretion – a fundamental element of his work.

Xhaka’s name is clearly first on the list. The Arsenal midfielder has also publicly exposed himself on the Rome hypothesis, he can’t wait to work with Mourinho and, ironically, with his Switzerland he will train at the Tre Fontane Stadium, one of those used by the club for Primavera and Female. However, Roma must find an agreement with Arsenal: the Gunners ask for 20 million, Pinto’s offer, including bonuses, reaches a maximum of 15, Ünder or Diawara could be included in the deal. In any case, Roma would like to close within a couple of weeks at the latest.

The other name is that of Koopmeiners, on which, however, one goes much more cautious from Trigoria. The boy pushes and a few days ago he said that “contacts are going in the right direction”, while Roma are in a waiting position. In any case, the speech made for Xhaka is also valid for him. If Pinto decides to try seriously to take the Az midfielder, one should come out first between Diawara and Villar, with the first clearly favorite, and he would do so in the coming weeks, precisely to avoid price increases. Because it is true that Roma are looking for high-level players, but it is also true that they do not want – and above all cannot – repeat the mistakes of the past.
