AS Roma is rubbing its hands over OM’s misfortunes

The ax has fallen for OM: with a reprieve accompanied by heavy sanctions, they will be able to play in the Europa League this season but will be banned from participating in their next European qualification if they do not raise the bar, according to the conditions previously established by UEFA. With an additional fine of €10 million. And there is a club that is rubbing its hands with this situation, since it pushes OM to prioritize economic health. This is AS Roma, which has been seeking to recruit Mason Greenwood at a lower cost for several weeks, as reported La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Louve club hopes that this new move will push the Olympian leaders to lower their demands concerning the amount of the Englishman’s transfer. Because OM wants to recover a total of €55 million with bonus, far from what Roma planned to offer. The UEFA sanctions also concern the Roman club, which was rather spared, with a fine of €6 million to pay.
