Roma, after the victory against Salerno and Lazio after the draw against Napoli, remain in the running for a place in the next Champions League. However, the two teams also compete off the pitch. In fact, in recent days a transfer derby has arisen for Federico Bernardeschi.
Derby for Bernardeschi
Federico Bernardeschi has been offered to both Roma and Lazio. The footballer born in 1994, former Juventus and European champion with the national team, plays for Toronto in MLS and wishes to return to Italy. A very flexible offensive footballer who in his career has played both as a winger and as a central striker, he is a wild card who boasts a lot of international experience. A significant move on which the Romans are making their respective assessments with both, however, aiming for a six-month loan and asking for a significant reduction in the player’s salary.
Bernardeschi at Roma
Bernardeschi is a profile that Roma likes and that De Rossi sees as useful. In fact, the Giallorossi, after having closed for Angelino (left back requested by DDR) are trying to give the coach his second request for a winger. Pushing for Bernardeschi’s arrival would be Dybala who would reunite with his former teammate in black and white and De Rossi himself who worked with the class of ’94 in the national team. A player ready for the Giallorossi cause. Towards the sunset Ikon is increasingly interested in staying in Viola while in a different deal Belotti could go to Fiorentina.
Bernardeschi at Lazio
In Formello there has already been the green light from Sarri for the arrival of Bernardeschi. The two worked together at Juve and the coach would like a reinforcement for the Biancocelesti’s offensive department which is struggling a lot this season. The winger would be an important purchase for Lazio who need new energy and experience to compete in the Champions League (qualified for the round of 16). Bernardeschi with his flexibility could be very useful to the Lazio cause which is looking for an alternative given the difficulties in reaching Clarke from Sunderland and Candreva from Salernitana.
