Roma-Sassuolo, still distance between the sides for Defrel: the latest

The deal between Roma and Sassuolo for Grégoire Defrel is still in the balance, as the two clubs remain apart on a fee. Even though terms between Roma and the striker have been agreed already, Roma's offer to Sassuolo is for just above €20m including bonuses, which falls short of the €25m that Sassuolo have requested. Roma has begun to look for alternatives in the event that Sassuolo does not agree to the terms of the offer already put forth by Roma.
