Yannick Carrasco is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Roma and AL Shabab, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The forward has long been on the radar of Roma, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. Juventus are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. Roma's current 1.23 goals scored per game is close to average. Yannick Carrasco would be seen as someone to make them more dangerous and clinical in the box. Roma have recently been linked with Donyell Malen, Andreas Schjelderup and Robinio Vaz while AL Shabab have had no rumoured targets. Can't get enough Roma transfer rumours?
