Roma rival West Ham for Lyon wantaway Clement Grenier
Roma are back in the market for a midfielder, and the latest reports have them looking at West Ham and Fiorentina target Clement Grenier.
The former Nice loanee is, according to BlastingNews, the name on Roma’s lips to add some quality to their midfield.
Grenier hasn’t had a very enjotable two years, plagued by injuries and being snubbed y Coach Bruno Genesio.
Before that, the 25-year-old had been a star, scoring 11 Ligue 1 goals between 2012 and 2014, adding as many assists, too.
Director of Sport Frederic Massara wants to offer Lyon a loan deal, but may have to try harder if West Ham are on his tail, too. Then again, the Hammers have only offered a loan, too.
The Giallorossi could need alternatives there, with Daniele De Rossi ageing and Leonardo Paredes someone who plays lower down. Grenier could also play on the wing, where Mohamed Salah and Alessandro Florenzi will not play in January, either because of the African Cup of Nations, or because of the Italian’s long-term injury.
