Roma surpass Milan and Napoli for Fiorentina midfielder

Published on: 22 June 2019

Roma have emerged as the new favourites to sign Fiorentina midfielder Jordan Veretout with both AC Milan and Napoli set to miss out on the Frenchman.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed something of a revival since joining La Viola completing 37 appearances in all competitions last season scoring five and assisting four.

With negotiations reaching a decisive point the Giallorossi look to have the edge over their Serie A rivals according to Sportitalia despite a recent bid from Milan.

Tuttomercatoweb understands the Rossoneri have tabled an €18 million offer plus €2m in bonuses for Veretout but have fallen short of their €25m asking price.

Roma could seize the opportunity to capitalise on the hesitancy and launch a decisive bid to appease Fiorentina, who are keen on concluding talks.

Napoli remain an outside chance while Milan may yet respond with a revised offer that forces the deal over the line.
