Spalletti: ’Roma want Digne but…’

Coach Luciano Spalletti confirms Roma want to sign Lucas Digne but Paris Saint-Germain “want to keep him”.

The French full-back spent last season on loan with the Giallorossi, but there was no buyout clause inserted into his contract.

President James Pallotta is in Rome this week, and met with the tactician today.

“The meeting went well,” Spalletti told reporters outside Studio Tonucci.

“There was a long time where I wasn’t able to see the President, so it was good to meet and congratulate each other.

“Wojciech Szczesny and Lucas Digne? We’re talking about that. We want to keep them but, in the case of Digne for example, we have to talk to PSG and see if they’ll let him leave again, but it seems they want to keep him from what I understand.

“For meetings like these it’s up to Walter [Sabatini, Roma’s sporting director]. Talk to Walter if you want to know about the transfer market.

“If you want to talk about the stadium it’s [Mauro] Baldissoni, for the club it’s Pallotta, and for the Primavera team it’s Alberto De Rossi.

“If you’re talking about the squad, then speak to Spalletti.”
