Palmeiras stalling talks for Rios, Roma focus on El Aynaoui

Roma continues to work on the transfer market, seeking a midfield reinforcement.

Richard Rios remains a name on the club’s radar, but according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the possibility of seeing him with the Giallorossi jersey on next season is not too great at the moment.

In recent hours, reports Di Marzio, Roma initiated initial discussions with Palmeiras to explore the feasibility of the deal, but negotiations have yet to make any concrete progress.

At the same time, interest in Lens’ Neil El Aynaoui is growing.

The Moroccan midfielder is considered a promising and reliable player, and Roma intensified discussions today.

Lens has already rejected a €20 million offer, deeming it insufficient, but the parties could resume discussions in the coming hours.
