AS Roma Step Up Pursuit Of Chelsea’s Tyrique George After Latest Transfer Talks

AS Roma are moving quickly to secure Chelsea winger Tyrique George in a permanent transfer. New talks are set after his recent game for the Blues. The negotiations focus on a deal with a big sell-on clause. Roma face competition from Fulham, who are also interested. However, the Italians are working to finalize the move ahead of other clubs. According to reports, AS Roma are getting closer to signing Tyrique George on a permanent deal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tyrique George, a 19-year-old Chelsea academy player, had 26 appearances last season. He was crucial in the club’s wins in the Europa Conference League and the Club World Cup. This summer, Chelsea signed several new attacking players, leading to fewer chances for George. This lack of opportunity led him to seek a new club. Roma are ready to pay a reported €20 million and have made an offer while arranging direct talks, aiming to beat Fulham and Crystal Palace to his signature. Chelsea are asking for €30 million plus add-ons for Tyrique George, and they want a significant sell-on clause in the deal.

WHY ROMA ARE PUSHING

AS Roma finished fifth in Serie A last season, missing out on Champions League football by just two points. Strengthening their attack has been a top goal for them, especially when their top scorer has been dealing with injuries. Adding George offers Roma young energy and flexibility on the wing. This move is equally important for Chelsea, who need to manage finances for UEFA rules; the academy product’s sale means pure profit for the club. Although Crystal Palace and Fulham are interested, Roma are leading the race, and they are moving quickly to finalize the transfer before the deadline.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Roma’s next game is against Pisa, who drew their opener at Atalanta last weekend. A win would allow Roma to climb into the top five early in the new season. If the deal is finalized, George could join the squad for the next fixture and start competing for minutes. Meanwhile, Chelsea have 7 points from three matches and prepare for their match against Brentford after the international break, aiming to stay in the top spots after a slow start. Chelsea are currently top in the Premier League table, having collected seven points from three matches. George’s move will be closely watched by fans as a test of Roma’s recruitment strategy and Chelsea’s ability to bring up homegrown players.
