Roma President Jim Pallotta welcomed Cengiz Under and believes “with two more players upfront we’re as good as any team.”
The Giallorossi have sold many big names so far this summer, including Mohamed Salah, Antonio Rudiger and Leandro Paredes.
“What we have so far with the strikers is great, the Turkish kid is going to be good, he’s young,” Pallotta told reporters.
Roma President Jim Pallotta welcomed Cengiz Under and believes “with two more players upfront we’re as good as any team.”
The Giallorossi have sold many big names so far this summer, including Mohamed Salah, Antonio Rudiger and Leandro Paredes.
“What we have so far with the strikers is great, the Turkish kid is going to be good, he’s young,” Pallotta told reporters.
He was referring to 20-year-old Cengiz Under, who arrived last night and had his medical this morning.
The transfer is worth €15m to Basaksehir, plus 20 per cent of any future transfer fee.
“We just need two more players upfront that we have in mind and will hopefully get done and then I think we’re as good as any team.”
Pallotta was asked if one of those names was Riyad Mahrez of Leicester City.
“I don’t know who that is.”
Another transfer in attack is imminent, as Gregoire Defrel is on the way from Sassuolo for €20m, including bonuses.
