Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb today shows up with a quite surprising story.
According to the website, AS Roma are interested in the signing of Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha.
It’s said the Giallorossi are ‘strongly considering’ the transfer this summer and already made contact for the potential move.
The story claims Zaha could leave Crystal Palace ‘by surprise’ in this transfer window, and his profile is ‘more than welcome’ by Roma boss José Mourinho, especially because of the winger’s ‘versatility’ in attack.
Something very interesting in this piece is that, more than once, TuttoMercatoWeb makes it clear that their information is coming from their English source, certainly trying to prove this isn’t something coming from Roma.
Zaha, who had 14 Premier League goals last season, is currently valued by Transfermarkt at €38m.
It’s still unclear how much the Serie A side could pay to get him from Crystal Palace this summer, or how much the Premier League side would demand.
Now in case of an attempt, the Italians would certainly play with the presence of José Mourinho on their bench.
