Roma-Valencia, ongoing negotiation for Florenzi: the latest

If they are going to split up, it might as well be on a permanent basis. It won't be easy for Roma and their captain Alessandro Florenzi to part ways, but after his recent benching in the derby against Lazio, the parties could decide to go their separate ways.

Florenzi's agent Lucfi continues to negotiate with Valencia, but there isn't an agreement on the formula of the deal. The Spanish club would prefer a loan with forced option to buy tied to the qualification to the Champions League, while Roma and Florenzi would rather a straight sale or a forced option. The parties will continue to negotiate, but the sale appears closer.
