Roma’s €30m bid for Moreira edges closer as Chelsea step aside

The Stadio Olimpico buzzed with quiet urgency this week as Roma finalised plans for their next attacking signing. Inside the club’s offices, a €30 million offer for Strasbourg winger Diego Moreira was being prepared, with a 10% resale clause attached. Initial talks between the clubs have already taken place, which first reported on Roma’s interest in the Belgian international. Roma’s pursuit of Moreira comes after the club missed out on Mason Greenwood, leaving a clear gap in their attacking options. The Giallorossi have identified the winger as their most concrete target, with Gianluca Di Marzio confirming the club’s focus on securing his signature. The Belgian’s representatives, led by Jorge Mendes, are playing a key role in facilitating potential agreement between the two clubs. Chelsea’s decision to opt against exercising their buyback option for Moreira has removed a major obstacle. Roma were prepared to pay a significant sum for Greenwood, and the same financial commitment appears to be on the table for Moreira. The Italian side’s willingness to meet Strasbourg’s valuation—albeit at a lower starting point—suggests a deal could be within reach.

Strasbourg initially set a €50 million asking price, but Mendes’ involvement has created a pathway to compromise. The agent’s influence, combined with Belgium’s early exit from the World Cup following yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Spain, may accelerate negotiations. With Chelsea out of the picture, Roma now hold the advantage in talks.
