AI Summary

Roma is under pressure to sell high-value players this summer, aiming to raise €50m to comply with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. The urgency stems from a need to balance their books by the end of the month, as reported by CalcioMercato.

To meet this financial target, Roma is considering multiple sales, focusing on players with low residual book values. Prime candidates for sale include:

  • Mile Svilar
  • Evan Ndicka
    While these players could yield profit, their transfer fees may not be significant enough to meet the €50m goal.

A more lucrative option could be Manu Kone, who has a remaining book value of £11.8m. He could potentially be sold for €50m, with Atletico Madrid reportedly interested in a deal worth €45m plus €5m in bonuses. However, the challenge lies in Roma's weakened negotiating position, as other clubs are aware of their urgent need to sell.

The likelihood of securing a major fee for Kone within the next week appears slim, placing pressure on sporting director Tony D’Amico to execute a strategic sale.

In other news, Michael Olise is set to receive a substantial salary increase in a new contract aimed at fending off interest from Real Madrid. Additionally, Liverpool is reportedly closing in on a deal for Yan Diomande as they seek to strengthen their squad this summer.
