Check in to Transfer Window: Done Deal Alerts
AS Roma are targeting Manchester United winger Nani, should they end up selling Erik Lamela to Tottenham this summer, according to Goal.com.
The North London club are preparing a bid to sign Roma’s talented Argentine winger Erik Lamela this summer, and hope to replace him with Manchester United winger Nani. The Portuguese international has only a year to run on his current contract, with talks to renew his deal at Old Trafford yet to begin.
Sportmediaset claim that Roma are hoping to signing Nani for a bargain price of £6.9million this summer, should they sell the 21-year old to Tottenham. Lamela has been impressive since his move from River Plate, and it’s understood that Andre Villas-Boas will have to stump up in excess of £30million to sign Lamela this summer.
Nani is available this summer for the right price, with the 26-year old falling out of favour with manager David Moyes, and is behind Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young and Wilfried Zaha in the United pecking order, and a number of clubs, including AS Monaco and Anzhi Mackachkala have been linked with a move to sign him this summer. Their interest in Nani relies upon Tottenham’s pursuit of Lamela, as they plan on funding a move for Nani with the cash from his transfer.
Tottenham are also interested in Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo, but according to Corriere dello Sport, the Italian side are planning a swap offer from Atletico Madrid, in exchange for Spanish forward Adrian.
