Fenerbahce starlet nears Roma switch

AS Roma are finally set to complete the deal for long-term target Salih Ucan, Il Corriere dello Sport has learned.

The Giallorossi are working hard on new signings, but they have yet to announce the first capture of the summer.

And it appears that could change soon as AS Roma officials are expected to wrap up the deal for Fenerbahce midfielder Salih Ucan.

Sporting director Walter Sabatini will fly to Turkey next week to present the latest offer from the club that is unlikely to be rejected.

Namely, Roma will pay €4 million for a two-year loan, plus include the option to buy the player outright for additional €11 million, which has got to be considered a great proposal given Ucan has only played a handful of matches for the senior side.

Meanwhile, the Giallorossi have decided to only cash in on Mehdi Benatia if they receive an offer in the region of €40 million.
