Boubakary Soumare hasn’t quite met the expectations since joining Leicester City from Lille in 2021.
He spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Sevilla, and with the Premier League season about to begin, his future remains uncertain.
It appears he might be heading away from England.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports AS Roma’s ongoing interest in the French midfielder as they aim to strengthen their squad this summer.
Recently, Roma has made significant moves to secure Soumare, who is keen on a transfer to the Stadio Olimpico.
Roma plans to discuss Soumare’s potential transfer with Leicester, targeting an initial loan deal.
Leicester is aware of Roma’s interest and has set a price tag of €15 million for a permanent transfer.
It’s likely that Soumare himself has informed Leicester of his desire to join Roma, facilitating the Italian club’s pursuit.
Roma’s interest in the 25-year-old is genuine, and discussions between the clubs are expected to occur soon.
