Already looking for a defender, Roma now have to deal with finding a new defender after Juan Jesus injured his meniscus.
Set to have surgery, the Brazilian is now expected to be out for the foreseeable future, and agents haven’t wasted time trying to get their players at the Serie A side.
Gazzetta dello Sport claim that among those offered was West Ham’s Angelo Ogbonna, who has already been heavily linked with a return to Italy this month.
Bologna were the ones interested, but financial issues (mostly the player’s wages) made a move very difficult, and the situation died down eventually.
However, Roma are a tad richer than their league opponents, but that won’t help Ogbonna find a way out from London Stadium.
Gazzetta report that Monchi ‘wasn’t convinced’ by the defender, and nor was he by Lyon’s Rafael for the right-back spot.
It seems it’s hard to convince the director of football these days, as Arsenal’s Mohamed Elneny was also offered to and turned down by the Spaniard.
