“Roma” management has changed its plans for Eldor Shomurodov. Club officials were planning to completely abandon the services of the Uzbek player during the winter transfer window.
“Cagliari”, “Empoli” and “Venice” fought until the end to acquire the 29-year-old central striker.
Especially considering that the “Cagliari” club retained its place in the top division last year with the help of the Uzbek player, they tried to re-sign Eldor. The Sardinians waited for Gianluca Lapadula to leave in order to complete the transfer of Shomurodov.
Finally, the Peruvian player moved to Spezia, and the Sardinians expressed their readiness to enter into decisive negotiations with Roma.
“Venice” was the only team that accepted the Romans’ request to acquire Shomurodov. The Venetians agreed to rent the Uzbek player for half a season with the condition of later buying him for 3.5 million euros.
“Roma” head coach Claudio Ranieri, taking into account the fact that there are no other central strikers in the squad besides Artem Dovbik and Eldor Shomurodov, asked the club’s owners to formalize the transfer of the Uzbek player after the match against Eintracht in the Europa League.
It was during this match that Shomurodov’s future became clear. Eldor scored a crucial goal and ensured his team’s passage to the next round, and Claudio Ranieri blocked his transfer, saying that he needed a forward of this level.
A reputable source – Sky Sport – announced the final decision of the Roman club on this issue. Renowned journalist Luca Marchetti announced in an interview with Sky Sport that Roma have removed Eldor Shomurodov from their transfer market.
- Roma have removed Eldor Shomurodov from the transfer market. The Uzbek striker's goal in the Europa League has rekindled the club's confidence in him and shown that there is no need to replace him with another striker.
Thus, both Cagliari, who said goodbye to Lapadula, and Venice, who took on the transfer obligation, have been left without Eldor Shomurodov, - wrote Giancarlo Cornacchia, an expert on the tuttocagliari.net portal.
Other reputable sources have also confirmed that Eldor Shomurodov will remain at Roma. In particular, the website laroma24.it, which specializes in covering the activities of Roma, published the following news on this subject.
