GdS: Roma still ahead for centre-back despite Pioli’s phone call – the reason | OneFootball

AC Milan have decided to focus on free transfers this summer and in addition to Marcus Thuram and Youri Tielemans, Evan N’Dicka is on their list. However, the centre-back could end up at Roma instead.

N’Dicka’s contract with Eintracht Frankfurt will expire at the end of the month and he has been in talks with Roma for quite some time. Milan, on the other hand, only initiated talks a couple of days ago – after Paolo Maldini’s sacking.

According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, as cited by our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Stefano Pioli has talked to N’Dicka about Milan’s project. However, the defender didn’t get the answer he wanted even though he appreciated the call, as Pioli was unable to guarantee a starting spot.

Roma, meanwhile, have already guaranteed a starting spot and that’s why they remain ahead in the race. They haven’t reached the finish line just yet, though, with the duel expected to be decided next week.
