Roma don't even need to finish in the top 7, they could win the Europa League.

Adds a different take on it, would bite your hand off for that

We'd still need a pact forward option. Malen is literally our only forward that can run. Watkins waking up for a few games has been useful but we need options. Rashford was so useful because of his pace.

It's a rotten deal if they're not adding cash on top

Guessand to Besiktas? In most of his games he has been a bit of a Turkey...

Guessand gets such a hard time , i think it is really harsh for a lad in his first season. here

🚨 Donyell Malen to Roma —  €2m loan fee, with a mandatory clause set at €25m in case Roma qualifies for any European competition next season.
@DiMarzio
 
Roma have improved their offer to Aston Villa for Donyell Malen: €2 million on loan, plus a €25 million option to buy if they qualify for European competition.

Roma are pushing ahead with the move for Donyell Malen: in the last few hours, the Giallorossi club has presented an improved offer to Aston Villa, aiming to close the deal and beat out competition from Atletico Madrid, who are keeping a close eye on the deal.

The proposal in question involves a €2 million loan , with a mandatory buyout of €25 million if Roma qualifies for a European competition next season: Champions League, Europa League, or Conference. There is no clause tied to the player's number of appearances.

In effect, it's almost a permanent signing: to avoid triggering the obligation to buy, Roma would have to finish the season in seventh place, an unlikely scenario. Contacts are continuing, and optimism is growing: Roma wants Malen and has now put the right offer on the table to try and bring him to the capital.

Might as well give him away
