Serie A side Roma had been working on a move for Stuttgartโs Jamie Leweling in the last few days. Just when they seemed to be making progress in the deal, it appears they will now definitely miss out.
Alfredo Pedulla reported earlier today that the Giallorossi made a fresh push for the German, who had previously not given a greenlight to the deal. Roma had earlier reached an agreement with Stuttgart but the playerโs decision had held the move back.
Now, Gianluca Di Marzio has reported updates, making it clear that there isnโt enough time to complete the deal.
Roma were anyway facing a race against time to seal the move. But now, there is certainty the versatile winger will stay at the German club.
This does come as a bit of a blow to Roma, as Gian Piero Gasperini had been keen an extra attacking signing. Jamie Bynoe-Gittensโ idea hasnโt taken off yet, with Malick Fofana nearing a move to the Premier League.
Leweling couldโve fit the squad role perfectly, as he wasnโt going to be a regular starter but wouldnโt have minded a status of that kind.ย
