Roma working on permanent transfer for Smalling: the latest

Chris Smalling has delivered convincing performances in a Roma shirt, providing renewed stability in the defense alongside Mancini. The club, as a result, is already working on a permanent move for the season's end. The defender arrived from Manchester United on a dry loan through June 2020, and initial meetings with the Premier League club could begin this week. Roma are looking to secure the deal in advance and finalize the economic terms of Smalling's permanent transfer to the giallorossi ahead of the summer.
