In a significant development in the summer transfer market, Matias Soulé of Juventus is edging closer to a move to AS Roma. According to renowned journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the Argentine winger has expressed a preference for joining the Giallorossi over a potential switch to Leicester City.

Roma is intensifying its efforts to secure the 21-year-old talent, with manager Daniele De Rossi reportedly a huge admirer of Soulé’s skills. The Italian capital club is prepared to meet Juventus’ asking price, with an offer nearing the €30 million mark. This aligns more closely with Juventus’ valuation, compared to Leicester’s bid of €20 million plus €5 million in bonuses, which falls short of the Serie A giants’ demands.

Soulé’s inclination towards Roma is seen as a pivotal factor in the ongoing negotiations. The player’s desire to join De Rossi’s squad could be the key to finalizing the deal, as Roma seeks to bolster its attacking options for the upcoming season.
