The club's moves, Petrachi at work: Kean on loan and Smalling redemption

Kean on loan plus the redemption of Smalling. They will be days of intense work for the ds.s. of Rome Gianluca Petrachi, which, as reported on Corriere della Sera, wants to be ready in January to fix the rose. In fact, the first part of the season highlighted two realities: 1) Rome has no deputy Dzeko reliable given that Kalinic, whose loan from Atletico Madrid could be interrupted before the deadline, was never able to make his contribution due to a lack of physical condition and then an injury; 2) Smalling he swept all the doubts he brought from Manchester and became a team leader. Kean he never settled in Liverpool and wants to return to Italy, his friend Zaniolo's Rome could be the best solution for him.

Regarding Smalling, Manchester evaluates its card 18 million euros, an important figure for a player who will turn 30 in a few days, but not out of business for a defender of his level: Roma will try to close the deal as early as January, also to avoid interference by Inter and Juventus.
