According to the "Roman Sports" report, Rome wants to rent first and then buy Leon Bailey.

In the previous warm-up match between Villa 4-0 Roma, Leon Pele's outstanding performance caused a lot of trouble for Roma. It was then that Rome's sports director Masala ignited his interest in Bailey. He was interested in Bailey when he was in Milan. Now Bailey is not a non-selling product in Villa, and he can be released as long as the quotation is reasonable. After the

Warm-up match, Masala quietly headed to Aston Villa headquarters and held secret talks with Monkey to discuss Bailey's potential transfer.

The two sides have been in frequent contacts recently. Rome officially proposed to introduce Bailey in the form of loan + selective buyout. Monci did not refuse, but asked to pay the loan fee. Even if he did not buy out in the end, Rome would have to pay a loan fee of several million euros. The buyout amount was initially set at 25 million euros, and Masala is working hard to push this number down a little further.

This is not an insurmountable obstacle, and the deal is expected to lead to Gasperini's dream winger signings.

At the same time, Masala is also negotiating contract issues with the players: Pele's current annual salary after tax is about 3.5 million euros, which may be slightly higher, and Masala plans to balance this salary expenditure by adding bonuses.

At present, the player himself has clearly expressed his willingness to join Roma. Next, Roma needs to advance simultaneously at the club and the players to complete the transaction as soon as possible and prevent other clubs from intercepting the situation.

At Trigoria base, Roma also regarded Pele as a weapon on the left: he scored almost as many goals on the left as on the right (32 goals on the left, 33 goals on the right), and had similar assists (24 times on the left, 26 times on the right). He is not a winger in the traditional sense. He prefers cutting in, attacking space, and inserting into the penalty area diagonally. These data and traits completely break the stereotype of "a player with left foot can only play on the right".

For Gasperini, Bailey would be a true all-rounder. Not only can he play on both sides, he can even play the second striker in the 3-5-2 formation. He is the team's hidden ace when needed.

In any case, if Pele, Sancho and Salavi can be added, the frontcourt configuration on Roma's left will be very reassuring.
