Roma must sell Luca Mazzitelli to Sassuolo before signing Diego Perotti, but Milan and Leicester City also want the Genoa man.
The Perotti deal has been on the verge of completion for weeks, yet there’s still no sign of the deal being done.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the latest delay is so Roma can raise funds by selling 20-year-old midfielder Mazzitelli to Sassuolo.
He is currently on loan at Serie B outfit Brescia and is an Italy Under-20 international.

It’s suggested that today Roma director Mauro Baldissoni told Genoa chiefs they would finalise Perotti before the Monday transfer deadline.
However, there is pressure, as SportItalia maintain Milan and Leicester City are both ready to pounce if Roma hesitate much longer.
Leicester failed to get their main targets in Serie A, as Eder signed for Inter today and Milan revealed the offer for M’Baye Niang was withdrawn.
They could make it third time lucky with Genoa forward Perotti.
