Report: Raspadori Rejects Roma Move, Set To Stay at Atlético
Player hesitation together with Atlético's relaxed stance leaves Roma's search for goals unresolved.
Overview
- Cadena SER, as relayed by Football España, reports Giacomo Raspadori has turned down a loan to Roma and plans to remain at Atlético at least until the summer.
- Roma and Atlético previously reached an agreement in principle for a January loan featuring a conditional buy clause with payment likely deferred to the summer.
- Atlético sporting director Mateu Alemany publicly described the situation as relaxed and praised Raspadori, indicating the club is not pushing an exit.
- Roma had submitted the only formal offer and pressed for a quick decision, with Italian reports characterizing their approach as an ultimatum.
- The reported decision limits Atlético’s January flexibility and leaves Roma still seeking a scorer, with talks likely paused during Atlético’s Supercopa trip.
