Carrasco open to taking pay cut for Roma

Italian sources claim that Yannick Ferreira Carrasco wants to join Roma this month and is ready to take a pay cut to move to the Stadio Olimpico.

Belgian winger Carrasco wants to join Roma from Al-Shabab, and according to Corriere dello Sport and Gazzetta, the 32-year-old is pushing to make the deal happen.

Carrasco wants Roma move

According to both newspapers, Carrasco is ready to take a pay cut to move to the Olimpico, so his representatives will try to persuade Al-Shabab to reach an agreement with Roma. Carrasco earns €6.5m plus add-ons per season at the Saudi Pro League club.

The Giallorossi have already explored a possible loan move for the ex-Atletico Madrid winger and will continue talks with Al-Shabab later this week, after their Europa League game against Panathinaikos on Thursday.

Roma have already signed Donyell Malen and Robinio Vaz in the January window.

According to Gazzetta and CorSport, Mathys Tel (Tottenham), Mika Godts (Ajax), Leo Sauer (Feyenoord) and Crysencio Summerville (West Ham) are also on the Giallorossi’s agenda.
