Roma may have been spurned by Malcom in favour of Barcelona but if reports are to be believed, are homing in on another target – AC Milan’s Suso.
Italian sources, including Sky Italia, claim that Suso’s agent met with Roma’s backroom staff at the club’s training ground on Thursday, with a view to a move in the region of €40 million.
However, any move could hinge on making Diego Perotti a makeweight, whose own representative is also thought to have had sit down talks with the Giallorossi.
Perotti was one of Roma’s better players in Serie A last year but in Suso they would be getting a player six years younger – at 24 – and an incredibly versatile option across the front line.
