Greenwood attracting multiple suitors including Arsenal, but past conduct remains obstacle for Premier League return

Source: Forza Roma

Mason Greenwood remains Roma's primary transfer target under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, as the club continues behind-the-scenes negotiations to bring the English forward to the Stadio Olimpico. However, interest in the player has intensified across European football. According to reports, Arsenal and Tottenham have joined the race alongside clubs from Saudi Arabia and Spain. Roma may benefit from a significant obstacle: a Premier League return appears unlikely given Greenwood's legal history. He was accused of attempted rape and assault against his former partner in January 2022 while at Manchester United and was formally charged in October that year, though the charges were withdrawn in February 2023 after the complainant withdrew her complaint.

Roma's negotiations with Marseille remain ongoing, with the French club demanding €55 million while Roma has offered €40 million. Fabrizio Romano reports that Roma is continuing discussions behind the scenes. The player's troubled past effectively removes English clubs from serious contention, leaving Roma in a stronger negotiating position among remaining suitors. Whether the financial gap between the two clubs can be bridged in the coming weeks remains unclear.

La Roma, intanto, continua a lavorare da dietro le quinte per portare il giocatore nella Capitale Redazione 19 giugno - 16:16 Greenwood, il sogno di Gasperini per alzare il livello e vincere subito Greenwood piace a tutti. L’inglese sta facendo gola a mezza Europa e non solo. L’obiettivo, il sogno numero uno di Gasperini, continua a essere il nome caldo per l’attacco giallorosso. Al momento rappresenta il papabile acquisto da Champions per una Roma da Champions. Ma più il tempo passa e più le pretendenti aumentano. La concorrenza, infatti, si fa sempre più fitta. Non c’è solo l’Arabia o la Spagna sullo sfondo, ma - come riporta L’Équipe - si starebbero muovendo anche Arsenal e Tottenham. I due club inglesi si sono interessati al giocatore. Ma c’è un problema, tutt’altro che marginale. E per questa ragione la Roma può stare, per modo di dire, tranquilla: un ritorno in Premier League sembra infatti improbabile, anche alla luce dei precedenti extra-calcistici del giocatore (Greenwood è stato accusato di tentato stupro e aggressione nei confronti della sua compagna nel gennaio 2022 - mentre giocava nello United - e formalmente incriminato nell'ottobre dello stesso anno, ma le accuse sono state ritirate nel febbraio 2023 dopo che la presunta vittima ha ritirato la denuncia). Il club giallorosso, nel frattempo, continua a lavorare da dietro le quinte, come riportato da Fabrizio Romano. La richiesta del Marsiglia resta ferma sui 55 milioni. La Roma ne offre 40.

Morocco faces Scotland with Roma's El Aynaoui in midfield

Morocco's national team, featuring AS Roma midfielder El Aynaoui in the starting XI, faces Scotland in a World Cup Group C match at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. El Aynaoui earned his second tournament start after Morocco drew 1–1 with Brazil in their opening game. Playing alongside him in the midfield is Bouaddi, who has drawn Roma's interest as a potential replacement should midfielder Koné depart the club. Roma defender Salah-Eddine remained on the bench. A victory would allow Scotland to secure passage to the round of 16, while Morocco aims to build on their strong performance against Brazil. With a win, Morocco could temporarily move to the top of Group C ahead of Brazil's later fixture against Haiti. The match holds added significance for Roma's transfer strategy, as the club continues monitoring Bouaddi's availability at his current club amid potential midfield reshuffling.

Roma in talks with Brandt as Atlético Madrid leads race for Dortmund midfielder

AS Roma has reportedly received a positive response from Julian Brandt regarding a potential move to the Italian capital. The 30-year-old German midfielder is set to leave Borussia Dortmund when his contract expires on 30 June. Roma had made an initial approach several weeks ago but had not been prominently linked with the player in recent days, making the renewed interest noteworthy. However, Atlético Madrid currently holds the advantage in the race to sign Brandt. The midfielder faces significant competition from multiple Premier League clubs, including Leeds, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Arsenal. Brandt, born in 1996, is expected to make a final decision about his future within the coming weeks.
