From France: Roma one step away from Balerdi

From France: Roma one step away from Balerdi The transfer window in Italy closes on September 1st at 8:00 PM. Roma must speed up their efforts to complete some signings: the final pieces are still missing to give Gian Piero Gasperini a complete squad. In addition to the left winger, the pursuit of a defender remains ongoing. The Roman club has just finalized the sale of Jan Ziolkowski to Monza. Leonardo Balerdi appears on the list of replacements. As reported by Footmercato , the Giallorossi have recently accelerated their pursuit of the Marseille center-back. Negotiations have begun with all parties involved. The player suffered a calf problem over the summer and has yet to make his debut for the French club. He’s not a new name in Trigoria; he’s been pursued in the past. Fabrizio Romano confirms the rumors emerging from France. As reported by the renowned transfer market expert, Roma has presented Marseille with a loan offer with a conditional buyout for Balerdi, and has agreed personal terms with the defender. The same formula was used to secure the arrival of Jayden Oosterwolde, who missed out on medical reasons.
