Roma Make Strong Move For Legia Warsaw’s Jan Ziolkowski

AS Roma are leading the chase to sign 20-year-old defender Jan Ziolkowski from Legia Warsaw. Both Roma and Udinese have made formal offers to secure the Polish player’s services, but Roma have put forward the best financial proposal according to recent reports.

WHAT HAPPENED?

AS Roma and Udinese have both made official offers for Jan Ziolkowski. He has had an impressive season at Legia Warsaw, making over 30 appearances, scoring once, and assisting twice as confirmed in recent updates. Roma are eager to reach an agreement quickly, wanting him available for new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini soon. Discussions between Roma and Ziolkowski’s representatives are scheduled for later today, while Udinese also showed interest but had an earlier bid rejected.

ROMA’S SEASON SO FAR

AS Roma are rebuilding under Gasperini after finishing fifth last season and missing out on Champions League qualification. They are focusing on strengthening their defense, and the recent arrival of Daniele Ghilardi, for over €10 million, underscores their commitment to this goal as detailed in reports. Meanwhile, Legia Warsaw continues their Ekstraklasa season, and they will need a replacement if Ziolkowski leaves. Udinese, who finished 15th last season, are also looking to bolster their squad for the new campaign.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Roma play Coppa Italia winners Bologna for the kick-off of their new Serie A season. They finished 5th last season, losing on Champions League football in the last matchday, finishing 2 points behind Juventus, whom they played in the last match of their campaign. If Roma finalize the deal for Ziolkowski in time, he could add depth to the squad for this pivotal encounter. Talks between both parties are likely to intensify in the coming hours as the Giallorossi aim to complete the deal without any hiccups.
