Overview
- Football España, citing Matteo Moretto, reports an agreement in principle for Raspadori to join Roma on loan with a non-obligatory purchase option worth about €19.5 million.
- Previous negotiations stalled as Roma pushed a loan with an option (reported as €2 million loan plus €17 million option) and Atlético pressed for a straight sale or an obligation that matched their €22 million outlay.
- Diego Simeone has been reported to give conditional approval to a departure provided a replacement is secured, a factor that could still affect the timing.
- Raspadori has seen limited minutes at Atlético—around 14 appearances with four starts and contributions of two goals and three assists—which has fueled his openness to a move.
- Interest from Atalanta and Galatasaray has complicated the market picture, with Galatasaray reportedly willing to take the forward on a simple loan and Atalanta identified as a domestic rival to Roma.
