AS Roma registered a 3-0 victory over Brescia in their last league tie and Chris Smalling finished the game with a goal and an assist to his name.
Over the past few weeks, there’s been claims in Italy the Serie A side are trying to sign the centre-back on a permanent deal. He arrived in Rome on a loan basis from Manchester United in the summer.
It was explained that Roma are offering €12m plus bonuses, but the Red Devils are demanding €20m to sanction the 30-year-old’s sale.
Sky Italia reported on Sunday the former Fulham man has become a key player under Paulo Fonseca, ‘gaining confidence with high-level performance’.
United allowed Smalling to join Roma on a dry loan deal, without an option to make the transfer permanent.
If the latest meeting between Roma and the central defender’s agent is fruitful, there’s a serious possibility for Smalling to continue with the Giallorossi beyond this season.
