Neil El Aynaoui was one of Roma’s most expensive signings in the last summer transfer window.
However, the Moroccan midfielder failed to live up to the initial expectations placed on him.
Having arrived amidst concerns from some fans after the failed acquisition of Rios, the 2001-born midfielder was acquired from Lens for €23.5 million.
He never managed to secure a regular starting spot, often with disappointing performances.
His consistency on the pitch has been limited, and El Aynaoui himself has expressed dissatisfaction with his use at the Trigoria club.
In recent days, rumors have emerged from Morocco of his possible departure, with the player reportedly considering leaving Roma for more playing time.
The midfielder, however, continues to be in the sights of some of Europe’s most prestigious clubs.
According to Africafoot.com, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Leipzig appear to be interested in him, drawn by his qualities and his unrealized potential in Italy.
Roma, for their part, is closely monitoring the situation, also considering El Aynaoui’s participation in the upcoming World Cup with Morocco.
A strong performance in Qatar could further increase his market value, making his potential transfer more attractive to the Giallorossi.
