Roma reject Sampdoria’s loan request for Pisilli

Roma are not willing to part ways with Niccolo Pisilli so easily.

The Roma youngster has been recently at the center of transfer rumors following his impressive display in preseason.

The 19-year-old midfielder – who made his senior debut last year under Jose Mourinho – scored in Roma’s two friendlies so far, first against Latina and then Kosice.

With the season fast approaching, speculations regarding Pisilli’s future were made in Italian media.

The most recent reports suggested that Pisilli may go out on loan to Serie B.

However, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Sampdoria’s loan request for the ex-Primavera man was turned down by Roma.
