According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Roma have issued an ultimatum to Juventus regarding the transfer of Matias Soulé. The Giallorossi have made their final offer of €28 million, including bonuses, and expect a response from Juventus by the end of the day. This negotiation has become a tense standoff, with both clubs employing strategic maneuvers to secure the best possible deal.
According to the report, The latest move in this high-stakes negotiation came yesterday when Roma presented a new offer to Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli. The club’s owners, the Friedkin family, decided to exceed their initial financial limits in the pursuit of the Argentine forward. They instructed their representative, Ghisolfi, to increase the offer to €28 million. This substantial bid reflects Soulé’s impressive season on loan at Frosinone, where he had his first significant experience as a starter in Serie A.
Roma’s management believes that Soulé is the ideal candidate to strengthen their offensive flanks. The team needs a left winger who can provide quality, speed, and goals. Both head coach Daniele De Rossi and the club’s ownership see Soulé as a perfect fit for their strategy of acquiring young talents with high potential.
Now, Roma are awaiting an immediate response from Juventus. The offer is non-negotiable and expires today. If Juventus reject the €28 million bid, Roma will consider other targets. It’s worth noting that Soulé has already agreed to personal terms with Roma, preferring to stay in Italy rather than move to the Premier League. West Ham has shown interest but is currently focusing on Leeds’ Crysencio Summerville, while Leicester City have not made a serious offer.
Soulé’s desire to join Roma strengthens the Giallorossi’s position. He has agreed to a contract worth around €2 million per year and is eager to play alongside his compatriots Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes. This mutual interest could tip the scales in Roma’s favor, but the final decision rests with Juventus. They must now choose whether to accept the highest offer they have received for Soulé or wait for another potential buyer. Regardless of the outcome, Roma has made their best effort and will conclude this saga without regrets.
