AS Roma is reportedly ready to sign Chris Smalling from Manchester United. AS Roma has the opportunity to sign Smalling because they already have funds from the new owner, Dan Friedkin Previously, AS Roma was indeed interested in making Smalling permanent, but the effort was canceled because Manchester United wanted a high price for the England national team player. The Red Devils set a price of up to 20 million euros for Smalling.
However, with the assurance of the new owner last Thursday, AS Roma's finances have returned to normal. And Friedkin himself became the new owner of Roma after buying the club from James Pallotta for 591 million euros. The businessman from the United States is reportedly not going to sell Roma's top players, and is ready to provide 80 million euros to spend on players this summer.
