Despite months of claims about his transfer situation, and a return to AS Roma being declared imminent a number of times, Chris Smalling remains a Manchester United player.
The defender moved to the Serie A club on loan last summer and managed to impress for them. That made a permanent deal likely, and Roma have been trying to reach an agreement with the Premier League club.
Gianluca Di Marzio now reports the Italians are making a new offer for the defender, which he puts at €15m. Such a figure has been claimed before, but perhaps this time it’s a straight payment rather than including bonuses.
Di Marzio doesn’t think United will be able to get a better deal from an English club, and therefore he believes the offer will be considered carefully.
