Roma open talks with Leicester City for Boubakary Soumaré

Boubakary Soumaré is the new name that is being linked as a possible reinforcement for Roma’s midfield.

Roma sporting director Florent Ghisolfi has made it a point to reinforce the midfield at Daniele De Rossi’s disposal and considers Soumaré the ideal fit offering quality and physical strength in a crucial area of the pitch.

Today’s edition of Il Tempo suggests Roma are ready to open talks for the 25-year-old Frenchman.

In recent days, contacts have been initiated with the footballer’s entourage to explore his availability to move to the capital

In the next few days, Roma will speak with Leicester who loaned the player to Sevilla last year.

The Andalusian club did not have the resources to buy Soumaré for 15 million euros which is the amount the Giallorossi will negotiate with the English side.
