Roma had been all set to sign Mario Rui, but it’s now reported the Empoli full-back met with a French and Spanish club too.
The Portuguese talent was to all intents and purposes a Roma player after Empoli confirmed a deal to join on loan with mandatory option to buy.
The player also appeared to agree personal terms with the Giallorossi.
However, Sky Sport Italia claim the situation is suddenly right back in the air again.

It’s suggested Mario Rui’s agent met with a Spanish and French club, both of whom are offering better wages and could pay Empoli upfront.
