Mahrez to Roma on Thursday?

By Football Italia staff

Two reputable journalists believe Roma could finalise a deal to sign Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez on Thursday.

According to BeIN Sports’ Mohamed Alkawaleny on Twitter, Mahrez will undergo a medical with Roma on Thursday, before being confirmed as a Giallorossi player.

Alkawaleny was also among the first to claim that Mohamed Salah would join Liverpool, tweeting a deal had been done on June 4 – 18 days before it was made official.

Sportitalia’s Alfredo Pedulla, meanwhile, claims Roma’s latest bid of €35m and possibly bonuses “could be enough”.

Moreover, there is “great confidence” that talks will close in the same timeframe that Alkawaleny alluded to.
