Roma Growing Confident Of Signing Leicester And West Ham Target. Serie A giants Roma are growing confident of signing Leicester and West Ham target Matias Soule in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The winger’s future at Juventus is under the scanner as the club are keen to cash in on him and bring in much-needed funds.
West Ham are amongst the clubs who are chasing him and even Leicester have tabled an offer for him this summer.
However, Soule is reportedly sold on joining Roma and is clear about wanting to move to the Stadio Olimpico in the ongoing transfer window.
According to Italian broadcaster Sky Italia (via TuttoJuve), Roma are now confident that they can get a deal over the line to sign the winger this summer.
It has been claimed that Roma are now growing in confidence that Soule will end up at the Stadio Olimpico.
Their latest offer for the winger stands at €28m, a figure Juventus are not prepared to accept at the moment. However, Roma are certain that a deal can be done to sign Soule for a deal worth up to €30m this summer.

I sincerely hope that West Ham are not even remotely considering including Edson Alvarez in any swap deal for Manchester United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
It goes without saying that, although the Mexican had a few disciplinary issues last season, his transfer to West Ham was a resounding success. Alvarez was one of the players I believed to be absolutely perfect for new Hammers head coach Julen Lopetegui’s possession based system.
Eddie’s strategic positioning allows him to slot seamlessly into the defence, which is going to be a huge factor in the upcoming season with Lopetegui’s preference for using attacking fullbacks.
Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have even paid much attention to such a preposterous swap deal between the Hammers and Man United. That’s no reflection on Wan-Bissaka, who is a decent enough player; however, in terms of value, they are miles apart. While I’m sure the Manchester club would throw some money our way to sweeten the deal, I still believe that West Ham would come out the other side worse off in this transfer.
Then there is the breaking news that the club are interested in French midfielder N’Golo Kanté, who of course plays in a similar role to Alvarez. Perhaps there’s nothing linking the two stories and I’m reading far too much into it; however, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a concern.
West Ham needs to push forward this season and improve; we’re not going to do that by selling our best players.
