AS Roma pursues Diego Moreira in €30‑€50 million transfer talks

AS Roma have identified 21‑year‑old Belgian winger Diego Moreira, currently at RC Strasbourg, as a priority target to strengthen their attacking flanks. Strasbourg have set a asking price of around €50 million, while Roma are preparing an initial bid in the €30‑€40 million range, possibly including a 10 % future‑sale clause. The club’s hierarchy, including sporting director Tony D’Amico and president Ryan Friedkin, are working to narrow the gap, with reports that the €40 million demand could be reduced. Moreira’s father, former Sunderland player Almami Moreira, confirmed Roma’s interest, noting the club’s readiness to meet a €35 million offer after the World Cup. The negotiations are complicated by Strasbourg’s ownership by the BlueCo group, which also controls Chelsea, giving the English club a resale‑fee interest in the player. Roma are also monitoring other offensive options such as Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolò Tresoldi, but Moreira remains the most advanced prospect. The outcome of the talks will shape Roma’s summer squad planning and could set a precedent for future transfers involving BlueCo‑linked clubs.
