Rome: Rome gives deadline, if Sancho does not agree to join on Wednesday, he will turn to other goals

August 26, According to the "Roman Sports" report, Rome is still trying to introduce Sancho, but only wait until Wednesday at most.

Roma has been seeking to buy Manchester United winger Sancho and has reached an agreement with Manchester United, but Sancho has not agreed to join Roma for a long time. After the last round of Serie A, Rome coach Gasperini said: "Sancho never said no to Roma." Indeed, Sancho did not explicitly refuse. When he spoke to Gasperini and Rome chairman Friedkin, he hinted that he was willing to consider coming to Roma, but Sancho never said yes to Roma.

But "Roman Sports" said that this is the problem. If Sancho explicitly rejects Rome, then Rome will turn to other signing targets. But Sancho adopted a delay tactic, which gave Roma a hope of signing him, so he was reluctant to give up. Perhaps Sancho was unwilling to reject Rome completely on the one hand, but on the other hand, he wanted to delay until the end to see if there was a better choice.

But this delay has affected Roma's strengthening, especially when the new player Leon Pele was injured as soon as he joined. If Roma was finally dragged by Sancho until the end of the transfer period but ultimately refused to join, then there would be no time to introduce new players and the team's attack power would also be affected.

Roman coach Gasperini is still very eager to get Sancho and pressures Roma sporting director Masala to make efforts to sign Sancho in the last week of the summer transfer period. In this case, Rome has given a deadline, and if Sancho does not agree to join before Wednesday, Rome will contact other signings. In this way, Rome still has a few days to strengthen the attack line so that it will not end up finding nothing.

And Manchester United is also putting pressure on Sancho, hoping that he will accept Roma's invitation. Because so far, only the Rome club is willing to pay Sancho a transfer fee of 18 million euros, plus a bonus, which is already the best offer Manchester United has received.

The Roman Sports also stated that Rome President Friedkin will come to Rome this Tuesday and may finally negotiate a decision on the Sancho deal with Masala and Gasperini. Roma's alternative targets include Fabio Silva of Wolves, George of Chelsea and others.
