Potential Move: Duván Zapata and Luis Muriel in the Spotlight as Roma Seeks Colombian Duo

For some time now, Duván Zapata has lost prominence in Europe; At the time, he was, along with Falcao, one of the most important forwards for the Colombian National Team, but the appearance of muscle injuries made him lose rhythm and led to his level in Atalanta not being as expected.

Although this has been a major complication in the attacker’s recent career, due to his physical prowess and good figures achieved seasons ago, he does not stop attracting attention in the transfer markets. Currently, in the old continent businesses continue to be defined and, soon, the Bull might benefit from a quality leap in his career.

During the last few hours, in Europe, especially from Italy, the possibility of leaving Dea arose, where he currently is, to end up being the new forward of nothing more and nothing less than Roma. As revealed by the journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio: “The Giallorossi are interested in Duván Zapata, following the loss due to Abraham’s injury.”

It should be remembered that a couple of weeks ago it was this same communicator who revealed the arrival of Juan Guillermo Cuadrado at Inter Milan. Now focused on the issue of the attacker, the journalist assures that Loba’s intention is to get him to arrive on loan with a purchase option, however, that would be the first setback of the business.

Atalanta, a team with which Zapata has remained in recent years and which also owns his rights, claims that the way out for the Colombian is an absolute sale. In addition, remembering that the coffee grower still has a valid contract for two more years with the Bergamo club.

Although Atalanta’s first alternative to get out of the player is for him to be sold, other types of businesses might be considered to get rid of the high salary that Zapata earns; In addition, because other players have already been arriving at that same position with what they seek to get the revenue from annotations that the coffee grower has not had in recent times.

During the past season, Duván was, as previously reported, more injured than on the field. Although the coach Gian Piero Gasperini had confidence in him, for the board to count a player who in 27 games played has only scored two goals and provided five assists, may seem like sufficient reasons to consider leaving.

Rome with a Colombian duo

Atalanta not only has the Colombian Zapata in its squad, as Luis Fernando Muriel is also part of that payroll that a couple of seasons ago has added to good results for the aforementioned club.

The coincidence of the case is that the same Roma that wants the Bull would look for the other coffee grower: “There is a new name on the table for the offensive department of Roma: Luis Muriel. It would have been proposed to the team and, currently, the company is evaluating this possibility and conversations have begun, ”said the Sportitalia outlet.

The same medium dared to ensure that the Portuguese coach in charge of Roma likes the attacker with processes in the Colombian National Team: “The Colombian striker is a player appreciated by the Giallorossi coach, José Mourinho, and there are currently discussions regarding this possible incorporation into the Roma attack”.

Finally, as with Zapata, the Bergamo team would look for a way out given the number of forwards they have and the cost of keeping them all: “Muriel earns 1.8 million at Atalanta and has a contract that expires in 2024 Now 32 years old, the Nerazzurri might let him go before the flooding of the offensive department”, they pointed out.
