Far from closed market, Roma and Inter compete for luxury free agent

Dan-Axel Zagadou still remained without a team.

Protagonists also in the last day of the market-Inter finalized the Acerbi deal, while Roma managed to sell Justin Kluivert to Valencia-the Giallorossi and Nerazzuri have long shared the need to shore up the defensive department of their respective roses. If the meneghini, after various vicissitudes, finally succeeded thanks to the signing of Simone Inzaghi’s protégé, the capitolini – despite Mourinho’s ‘veiled’ request after Roma-Monza – did not buy anyone.

Despite the fact that the market is officially over, the two clubs still remain active on the possible revenue front thanks to the rule that allows them to sign released players at any time. That said, Roma and Inter Milan are reportedly vying for the services of Dan-Axel Zagadou, the left-handed French defender on Borussia Dortmund’s books who remained without a team after being released on June 30.

The agent of the player, who grew up in the youth ranks of PSG, was in Italy again on Thursday evening to finalize the possible deal with one or the other club. The soccer market never sleeps, someone used to say: a statement that is certainly true in the case of the nerazzurri and giallorossi.
