Roma hit breakthrough in talks for PSG midfielder Wijnaldum

Georginio Wijnaldum is reportedly only a step away from joining Roma after there was a breakthrough in the talks with Paris Saint-Germain.

The French giants decided to transfer list the Dutch midfielder earlier this summer as they started a new project with Luis Campos and Christophe Galtier at the helm, despite the fact that he only joined the club on a free transfer last year.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Wijnaldum is now on the verge of joining Roma after PSG agreed to a loan deal with a buy option attached. The two parties are now working to establish how they’ll split his nearly €9m net per season salary.

The strong relationship between Dan Friedkin and Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made a difference and things have been moving positively ever since their meeting. 

Roma are building a strong project in the Italian capital with Jose Mourinho and adding Wijnaldum to a squad that already contains Paulo Dybala, Tammy Abraham and Lorenzo Pellegrini only furthers their chances of securing a top four finish next season.
