Roma eye Niguez as an alternative to Luiz
The Atletico Madrid midfielder is the Giallorossi’s alternative if they fail to sign their main target Douglas Luiz, as per reports in Italy.
According to recent reports,
Aston Villa’s
Douglas Luiz
is one of the targets that Jose Mourinho has been keeping tabs on, with the Brazilian’s deal due to reach its end at the end of the campaign.
According to reports from
La Gazzetta dello Sport
, Jose Mourinho stays hopeful of penning a contract with the Brazil international, notwithstanding Nemanja Matic joining the club on a free transfer.
Villa demand a fee of between €30-€35 million but since there is a year left on his deal, Roma hope that they can reach an agreement near €22m.
Should the Giallorossi be successful in finalizing the deal by the end of this month, they would benefit from the national Growth Decree.
Reports also suggest that if they fail to secure the services of Luiz, they may turn their attention to
Atletico Madrid’s
Saul Niguez
, who played for
Chelseaon a loan deal last season.
The 27-year-old has made a move back to the Wanda Metropolitano and his price tag may be around €25m.
