Reports are spreading rapidly indicating that Roma has requested Paris Saint-Germain to terminate the Renato Sanches loan deal prematurely. Simultaneously, there’s news of Leonardo Bonucci being excluded.
Over the past few days, hints surfaced about this approach, with the Portugal international dropping clues by removing any mention of Roma from his social media accounts. Notably, he changed his profile picture from one depicting himself in a Giallorossi jersey to a black circle.
If Renato Sanches’ loan is cut short, it would relieve Roma of his substantial salary for six months and prevent the risk of triggering their obligation to buy at season-end.
Additionally, multiple sources reported today that Roma has opted out of pursuing a loan deal for Bonucci from Union Berlin via Juventus. This decision is influenced by financial constraints under the Financial Fair Play regulations. The club needs to prioritize reinforcing the defence due to Chris Smalling’s injury and Evan Ndicka’s absence for the Africa Cup of Nations next month.
The release of Renato Sanches would allow Roma to allocate some of those funds towards securing a new centre-back.
