Roma have picked the fullback to gift to Jose' Mourinho as a late Christmas gift. The giallorossi have in fact reached an agreement with Arsenal for Maitland-Niles.
Roma are hoping to have the player available soon, but face a few hurdles starting with the fact he recently tested positive for Covid, he will be able to leave for Italy only after he tests positive, in addition he isn't an EU citizen which could further delay his arrival.
The deal with Arsenal on the basis of loan for between €500,000 and €700,000 for the loan with an option to buy set at round €10 million is very close, Roma are banking on the will of the player to help move the deal along.
