With the Diego Llorente loan with a compulsory option to buy based on number of appearances deal all but done, AS Roma are now focusing on the other Leeds United defender.
That’s Rasmus Krisentensen, for whom work is underway, as José Mourinho wants him to replace the departing Rick Karsdorp.
Corriere dello Sport and Gazzetta dello Sport have updates on the situation surrounding the Leeds right-back, and the belief from the former of the two is that the deal for the Dane ‘can become concrete in the coming hours’.
AS Roma are working on a loan with an option to buy, for which the player has given the go ahead, and the ‘optimal relationship’ between the two sides should get it over the line.
They believe that all that’s left to do is for the Italian side to finish ‘polishing the details’ of the potential transfer, and the intention is to make him available to José Mourinho by July 10th.
With Kristensen yet to turn up for Leeds’ pre-season as he was part of the recent international, Gazzetta point out the ‘sense of timing seems perfect’ to get everything sorted.
