Roma FC and Leicester City FC have been in heated negotiations over the transfer of midfielder Soumare. According to reports, Sumaré himself has shown great interest in joining Roma and has explicitly rejected offers from other European clubs such as Monaco and Lyon, which highlights his favor and desire for Roma.
However, despite the clear will of the player, the process of transfer negotiations has not been smooth. Roma and Leicester City have had significant disagreements over the transfer fee. Leicester City insisted that Roma pay a transfer fee of up to 15 million euros (about 13 million pounds) as a recognition of Sumaré's future potential and to protect the club's interests. Roma, on the other hand, have assessed the price as high and are trying to find a mutually acceptable solution through negotiations.
Soumaré is a 25-year-old French midfielder whose career is on the rise. Last season, he performed well as a loan player at Sevilla FC, not only contributing consistent play in 34 matches, but also displaying excellent passing vision and field control. These performances undoubtedly made Roma see his great potential and hope to recruit him to strengthen the team's midfield.
Both clubs are still in deep negotiations over the transfer fee and contract details. Roma are striving to complete the deal at a more reasonable price, while Leicester City are also weighing the pros and cons, considering how to protect their own interests while providing the best options for the player's future development. The outcome of this transfer tug-of-war will undoubtedly be closely watched by many fans and insiders.
