Roma loaned out several young players, but it’s reportedly all-out war between the club and Steven Nzonzi, Davide Santon and Federico Fazio, who turned down moves.
The Giallorossi had to cut down the squad and were active over the last few days to place some of their younger elements elsewhere.
Riccardo Ciervo was loaned to Sampdoria, Zan Celar to FC Lugano, Ruben Providence to Club Brugge, Devid Eugene Bouah to Teramo and Robin Olsen to Sheffield United.
However, Roma are stuck with three senior players who earn large amounts and are refusing to move on.
While Javier Pastore terminated his contract by mutual consent in order to organise his own future, the tension with the other three remains.
According to Calciomercato.com, Nzonzi rejected offers from Benfica, Lille and clubs in Qatar.
Fazio turned down Genoa and is even seemingly taking legal action demanding he be brought back into the Roma squad.
As for Santon, he was linked with Fulham on deadline day, but the move never materialised, following on from a failed January transfer to Turkey.
There are now limited options for leagues where they can be sold or loaned and Roma are not prepared to pay their outstanding wages just to get them off the books.
