Saudi Clubs Reportedly Ready to Pay €40m for Roma's Matias Soule

Overview

• Italian reports say several Saudi Pro League sides, including Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad with Al-Hilal suggested, are willing to pay roughly €40m for Matias Soule, matching Roma’s valuation.
• The 23-year-old Argentine is reportedly reluctant to leave Europe, and his reluctance is the main obstacle to any Saudi move despite the fee on offer.
• Roma face an urgent need to sell players to generate capital gains and meet a UEFA financial settlement tied to an end-of-June accounting deadline.
• Club sources say Roma would likely use any Soule proceeds to fund a bid for Mason Greenwood from Marseille, so the Soule decision directly affects their incoming transfer plans.
• If Soule rejects Saudi offers Roma will push for European buyers such as Borussia Dortmund or Aston Villa, and failure to complete sales quickly could force broader roster sales or financial adjustments.
