U-turn on retirement? Roma consider shock swoop for Raphaël Guerreiro
Roma are weighing up an unexpected defensive addition to bolster their flanks.
Details: According to transfer insider Ekrem Konur, Roma are actively exploring the possibility of signing seasoned Portuguese left-back Raphaël Guerreiro. The Italian capital club is looking at market opportunities to strengthen their wide defensive options and has placed the experienced defender among their concrete shortlist of targets.
The potential approach comes as a remarkable twist in the player's career, as the Portuguese international had seriously contemplated hanging up his boots and retiring from professional football over the summer months.
However, the prospect of a high-profile switch to Serie A could reignite his ambition, with Roma valuing his refined technical qualities, set-piece delivery, and tactical versatility across the left flank.
It is worth noting that according to Transfermarkt, the 32-year-old Portuguese left-back's current market value stands at €5 million.
