La Gazzetta dello Sport insists that Inter has not given up on Roma’s Kevin Strootman, even though the Dutchman recently penned a renewal until 2020. This because there is a buy-out clause (not only for Italy) worth 45 million of euros. “This means that there is still a possibility for Inter and Spalletti to sign Strootman if they just can offer the right amount of money. Inter is currently studying Strootman’s contract in order to present an offer to Roma owner James Pallotta and there is continous contact with the player in order to convince him. Prior to the renewal, Strootman stated that he wanted to remain in Rome and that he believes in Roma’s project and don’t forget that we are talking about a club that has always treated him well, even during two serious injuries”.
