Raspadori-to-Roma Talks Pause Despite Roma–Atlético Agreement
The striker has not approved the switch and his hesitation could push discussions beyond Atlético’s imminent Super Cup schedule.
Overview
- Roma and Atlético Madrid have an agreement in principle for a loan-to-buy move, described by some reports as an option and by others as a conditional obligation.
- Atlético informed Giacomo Raspadori they accepted Roma’s offer, yet he asked for three to four days to decide and wants to consult Diego Simeone.
- Sky Sport reports the player is reluctant to leave just six months after arriving in Madrid, viewing a departure now as a personal setback.
- Lazio and Galatasaray remain in contention, with Lazio positioned to bid after a reported €30 million sale of Taty Castellanos to West Ham.
- Any resolution is unlikely before Atlético’s match against Real Sociedad, and the club’s subsequent Super Cup travel could delay negotiations by around ten days.
