Serie A side side Roma have witnessed ups and downs in a move for Porto’s Rodrigo Mora. While a deal for the talent is now inching closer, they still want to sign Lyon’s Malick Fofana.
Initially, it was clear that it would only be one of the two for the Giallorossi. Fofana was an alternative to Mora and a move for the Portuguese was looking complex.
Alfredo Pedulla has reported that while a move for Mora is finalising, Roma remain alert to the idea of signing the Lyon youngster.
They have gained encouragement from the fact that his valuation has now fallen below €40 million. At the same time, they aren’t in a rush as Lyon will play in the Champions League qualifiers but they remain keen on the player, with other clubs also in the race.
Tuttomercatoweb report that, in fact, Roma have an agreement over personal terms with the winger. While Galatasaray have entered the scene, it hasn’t changed what the Italian club have offered Fofana and this could prove decisive in their move this summer.
