Meanwhile, AS Roma wants Aradiusz Milik and Nikola Maksimovic from the Naples side. There is a chance that a deal with mutual consent may be agreed upon. A direct swap deal is unlikely but simultaneous transfers cannot be ruled out.
It is highly possible that Under will move to Stadio San Paolo and the duo of Milik and Maksimovic will move in the opposite direction. As per CalcioNapoli24, Gennaro Gattuso remains interested in Under and Jordan Vertout and the Romans are in for Maksimovic and Milik. However, AS Roma will only move for the Polish striker should Edin Dzeko leave Stadio Olimpico.
