Roma eyes €40 million sale of Mati Soulé to Saudi clubs

AS Roma is assessing offers for Argentine forward Mati Soulé, a 2003‑born attacker currently valued at €18 million. Saudi clubs Al Hilal and Al Ahli have opened talks and are said to be ready to pay around €40 million for the player. The club aims to complete a transfer before 30 June to secure the necessary capital and avoid further UEFA financial‑fair‑play sanctions. A social‑media post quoted journalist Alfredo Pedullà: “#Soulé il meno intoccabile in casa #Roma … in quante ore contatti con due club arabi: indizi su #AlHilal e #AlAhli ma non solo.”

Other suitors such as Borussia Dortmund, Aston Villa and Stuttgart are mentioned, but interest from these European sides is described as “cold.” Juventus retains a 10 percent sell‑on clause. If the deal goes through, Roma could net €40 million, translating into a plus‑value of roughly €18‑20 million after accounting for the player’s book value and other revenues, providing a significant financial boost for the club.
