After a tense negotiation period which threatened to end their relationship, Sky Sport report that Alessandro Florenzi and Roma are poised to continue together.
The club and player have reached an agreement on the basis of a five-year contract and a salary that is lower than the €4 million originally requested by the Italian. Inter, who were prepared to meet the player’s initial wage demands, have since pulled out of the race.
Indeed, the Nerazzurri were only willing to negotiate for the Italian international from a position of power in the event that an agreement for the renewal could not be found. Piero Ausilio will need to look elsewhere to strengthen his right wing.
Indeed, it was always going to be difficult to lure the player away from Rome. Florenzi came up through the youth ranks at the Giallorossi and has made 224 appearances for his beloved side. At 27 years of age, he is considered by many to be obvious choice to take on the captaincy once midfielder Daniele De Rossi retires.
