Roma are turning their attention to a high-profile Chelsea winger as they seek to bolster their attacking options following a failed pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho.
The Italian club had been hoping to secure Garnacho from Manchester United but were unable to get that deal over the line, forcing them to look elsewhere in the market.
Roma have now identified Chelsea’s Noni Madueke as a key target, with the English winger valued at around £52 million by the London club.
The Serie A side are clearly determined to bring in a wide player of genuine quality this window, and Madueke fits the profile they are looking for in attack.
Madueke has developed into one of the more exciting wide forwards in the Premier League, catching the attention of clubs both domestically and across Europe.
Chelsea are under no particular pressure to sell, having invested significantly in building their squad over recent seasons under their current ownership group.
A fee in the region of £52 million would represent a substantial outlay for Roma, and the club will need to structure any deal carefully to meet financial regulations.
The collapse of the Garnacho pursuit will have been a significant blow for Roma, who had clearly made the Argentine a priority target earlier in the window.
Manchester United ultimately retained Garnacho, leaving Roma without the wide attacker they had targeted, which has now prompted this move for Madueke.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are willing to engage in serious negotiations over a player who still has plenty of years ahead of him at the top level.
Roma’s sporting directors will be working hard behind the scenes to find a solution that satisfies both clubs and gives the player the opportunity to move to Italy.
The situation is developing quickly, and Roma supporters will be eager to see whether the club can secure a deal before the transfer window closes.
