Roma have entered the race for Moise Kean, joining Tottenham Hotspur and Milan in pursuing the Fiorentina striker as the Italian international’s departure from Florence at the end of the season appears increasingly likely.

According to Calciomercato.it, Roma’s interest is contingent on securing Champions League qualification, a result that would be confirmed if they beat Verona on the final day of the season.

Gian Piero Gasperini has long been an admirer of the 26-year-old, and paired with Donyell Malen, whose permanent signing from Aston Villa for €25 million has already been confirmed, Kean would give Roma one of the most dangerous attacking partnerships in Serie A.

Roma plan Dovbyk swap-plus-cash offer as Fiorentina demand €45m for Kean

Fiorentina are asking for around €45 million for the Italy international, a figure Roma are hoping to reduce by including Artem Dovbyk as part of the deal.

The Ukrainian striker has fallen out of Gasperini’s plans and the club are keen to move him on, with a proposal of around €20 million plus Dovbyk’s transfer card understood to be the structure Roma have in mind.

There is a significant complication, however. Dovbyk’s salary is considered too high for Fiorentina’s wage structure, which could prove a serious obstacle to the swap element of the deal and leave the Giallorossi needing to find an alternative way to meet the Viola’s valuation.
