Roma want to replace Florenzi with Man Utd flop Depay
As well as they’re doing in the league, Roma aren’t having the smoothest of times. Beyond star striker Edin Dzeko having his villa burgled, club talisman Alessandro Florenzi’s serious cruciate ligament tear has plunged the capital into mourning.
It has also prompted the club to return to the well and buy another full-back, as well as an attacking winger.
With Mohamed Salah leaving for the African Cup of Nations in January, the attack is a priority. With Juan Iturbe likely to leave again, the Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Memphis Depay is the name on the club’s lips.
The Dutchman has completely flopped at Old Trafford this season, barely appearing under new manager Jose Mourinho. Depay, 22, has only played 12 Premier League minutes this season.
Roma, for their part, will need alternatives, seeing as it has taken Stephan El Shaarawy some time to get to his best form.
