A new chapter in the Alessio Romagnoli saga has begun, as Al-Sadd and Lazio resume their negotiations in the hopes of resurrecting the deal.
The seven-month soap opera has already witnessed a plethora of twists and turns. At the start of the summer, the two clubs had an agreement on a €3 million transfer, while the defender was prepared to sign a three-year contract with a €6 million salary. But in recent days, it was reported that the operation collapsed due to the situation in the Middle East.
With the state of Qatar imposing restrictions on monetary transactions, Al-Sadd requested that the payment be delayed until January. However, the cash-strapped Lazio refused, instead reinstating the player into Gennaro Gattuso's squad.
According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Romagnoli's transfer to Al-Sadd hasn't been entirely ruled out, as the Qatari champions are still seeking a solution. As the Roman newspaper explains, the club launched a new attempt this week, reopening talks with Lazio.
Al Sadd have reportedly made a new payment proposal on Tuesday, with the Aquile sending a counter-offer on Wednesday. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the two parties can reach a compromise that would put an end to this exhausting transfer saga.
