The weeks pass and look alike on the side of AS Roma. For several days, the Roman management had made the Brazilian nugget of Santos, Marcos Leonardo an absolute priority to strengthen its offensive lines. The young Peixe player had even reached a full agreement with the Giallorossi and was pushing internally to force his departure to Italy, while Lazio also coveted the 20-year-old Brazilian at the start of the summer.
But according to our information, the transaction will not take place this summer despite the offer of 18 million euros including bonus. Plagued by major sporting and financial problems, Santos still wants to take advantage of his young striker, hoping to raise the stakes during the next winter transfer window. In this sense, with the long absence of Tammy Abraham, Roma draw up their plan B list and the Italian striker from Leeds, Wilfried Gnonto is the hottest target.
