Monchi wants Leon Bailey at Roma

Roma director of football Monchi wants to sign Chelsea and Liverpool target Leon Bailey.

Sport Mediaset report that the Italians are keen to bring him into the club this summer, but do not want to meet Bayer Leverkusen’s €50 million asking price.

Roma want to add another wide player to their squad before the end of the Italian transfer window.

Bailey is believed to be their first-choice target, but Monchi wants to lower the price for any deal to take place.

While Bailey has been earmarked as a target, they are also considering moves for Taison, Marlos and Lyon’s Maxwel Cornet.

Both Liverpool and Chelsea were heavily linked with the Bailey throughout the summer transfer window but did not make a move.

Chelsea have reportedly earmarked the player as a potential replacement for either Willian or Eden Hazard, should either of the two leave the club in the near future.
