Roma prepares €25m bid for Feyenoord talent
Italian club Roma is keen on signing Feyenoord's 20-year-old defender, but faces competition from the Premier League.
Italian side Roma is actively working to strengthen its defensive unit. According to reports, the Serie A club is prepared to make a significant move for Feyenoord right-back Lutsharel Geertruida, with a potential deal valued at around €25 million.
The 20-year-old has established himself as a key figure for the Rotterdam club, playing an important role in their recent title-winning campaign, where he contributed one goal and three assists in 16 league appearances. With a contract running until June 2029, Feyenoord maintains a strong position in potential negotiations.
However, the deal may be complicated by competition from English side Nottingham Forest, who are also tracking the defender. Aware of the difficulties, Roma is keeping an eye on alternative targets, including Sporting CP defender Iván Fresneda, although there have been no direct contacts with the Portuguese club regarding the Spaniard so far.
