Strootman move blocked by Roma president
AS Roma will only discuss a move for Kevin Strootman if the club are offered “a stupid number” says the Italian side’s president, James Pallotta.
The Daily Mirror report Pallotta as saying: “I do get annoyed. I think the papers have finally given up on the Strootman thing, because Kevin’s come out and addressed it, saying he likes it in Italy and he has a five-year contract. And by the way, I wasn’t going to sell him anyway!
“We want to put the best team on the pitch, that’s the most important thing. But we’re businessmen. If someone comes in with a stupid number for a player, you have to listen to it.”
