Roma, Atlético Reach Loan Deal for Raspadori as Player Pauses to Decide

Overview

• Multiple reports say Roma and Atlético Madrid have an agreement in principle on a loan-based transfer, with details varying between an option to buy and a conditional obligation.
• Atlético has informed Giacomo Raspadori that the offer was accepted, but the forward asked for three to four days before giving his decision.
• Gianluca Di Marzio reports the player wants to speak with Diego Simeone first and could prefer a permanent move over another loan formula.
• Indicative figures reported include a €2 million loan fee and a further payment of about €19–20 million, though some terms remain contested across outlets.
• Lazio and Galatasaray have lodged interest, Atalanta and Napoli are tracking the situation, and any resolution is likely after Atlético’s Real Sociedad match with travel for the Spanish Super Cup narrowing the window.
