"We can't stay with just three defenders, we need another player. There still are forty eight hours and we'll see what happens, but I'm confident for Smalling's return" is what Roma manager Fonseca had to say just yesterday evening following his team's win against Udinese and today the club tried to grant his wish: they submitted a new and final bid to Manchester United for €15 million to bring back the defender back to Italy's capital.
The Red Devils are aware that no one in England can match the bid, so they are seriously considering it. Smalling is pushing to return to Italy, these are decisive hours with the deadline looming.
