Roma will be expected to be patient with Lille striker Jonathan David.
The Canadian striker is Roma’s dream replacement for Romelu Lukaku ahead of next season.
With Big Rom leaving, Roma will be looking to secure a significant successor and David, who has one year left on his contract at Lille, would be an ideal candidate.
According to MessengerRoma are waiting patiently for Lille to lower their demands after holding exploratory talks with the player.
The French club’s asking fee for a player whose contract expires next year appears to have stopped all clubs who have shown interest in him so far.
This leaves Roma hoping to sign David just days before the transfer deadline, as they did with Lukaku last year.
