Justin Kluivert is edging closer to joining Fulham on loan with an option to buy, so Andrea Belotti could arrive in the capital by the weekend, reports in Italy claim.
Il Gallo is José Mourinho’s priority target in attack as the ex-Torino captain could partner Tammy Abraham or act as a back-up for the England international.
Roma director Tiago Pinto has recently met the striker’s agent and has an agreement in principle with the Italy international.
However, the Giallorossi are working on sales before signing Belotti, who is available as a free agent after the end of his contract with Torino on June 30.
As per Calciomercato.com, Kluivert is one of those who could make room for Belotti, joining Fulham on an initial loan deal with an option to buy.
Felix Afena-Gyan is also likely to leave with Cremonese interested, while Bologna remain interested in Eldor Shomurodov.
Belotti only wants to join Roma and has reportedly snubbed offers from Galatasaray and OGC Nice. According to the report, Belotti could be available against Cremonese on Monday if Roma part ways with two of their strikers by the weekend. Kluivert is on his way to Fulham, then it will be Felix or Shomurodov’s turn.
