Roma are reportedly pushing hard to close a €16m deal for Boca Juniors midfielder Agustin Almendra.

According to Calciomercato.it, there were ‘big strides’ in negotiations last night and Roma ‘expect’ to snap up Almendra soon.

It comes despite the 19-year-old having a €30m release clause, which was said to have put off Napoli.

The Argentine has played just 23 times for Boca but already has a €15m valuation on Transfermarkt and is an Under-20 international.

The Giallorossi have already signed one midfielder in Amadou Diawara from Napoli and are about to confirm the arrival of Fiorentina’s Jordan Veretout.

Going the other way could be Daniele De Rossi, two months after ending his career-long association with the Lupi.
