Roma turn to Rowe after Marseille pick up Paixao
Roma are turning towards Olympique Marseille winger Jonathan Rowe, who could cost circa €20m, after Igor Paixao agreed a lucrative transfer to France. The Giallorossi had wanted an attacking wide player to suit new coach Gian Piero Gasperini and Paixao was one of the first choices. However, it quickly became apparent that the Feyenoord man was going to be too expensive, as today Olympique Marseille beat Leeds United to the deal with an offer worth €30m plus €5m in add-ons.

Rowe is fresh from winning the Under-21 European Championship with England and completed the transfer from Norwich City to Marseille for a total €16.5m after an initial loan. Atalanta had also been linked with the 22-year-old, seeing him as an alternative to Ademola Lookman if the Nigerian moves to Inter. The arrival of Paixao means Marseille are more likely to sell and it's reported the asking price is now €20m. Rowe scored three goals with three assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances last season.

Mario Hermoso could stay at Roma
Today, the Giallorossi will play their first real friendly against Kaiserslautern in Germany, another way for Gasperini to strengthen his confidence. According to today's edition of Il Messaggero, among the players returning from their respective loans who are convincing him is Mario Hermoso. The experienced left-footed central defender could therefore remain at Roma and compete for a spot alongside Ndicka on the left-center position. Marash Kumbulla, however, does not seem to have won over the coach: the Albanian appears to be more attractive after a good season at Espanyol and could therefore be put up for sale to try to raise money. In that case, Massara will be looking to add a new central defender to the squad in addition to Daniele Ghilardi, whose arrival seems a given.
