Author of 21 goals and 4 assists in Liga Nos this season, Simon Banza is the object of several desires. The Congolese striker is having his best club season with Portugal. The Leopard attracts several suitors. According to information from Calciomercato, the 27-year-old player is of interest to AS Roma.
Is it possible to get tired of the elegant Lukaku, seemingly without much trouble. Calciomercato reveals that future AS Roma sporting director Florent Ghisolfi has targeted Simon Banza to replace the 31-year-old Belgian striker next season. The center forward’s release clause amounts to 25 million euros, and the Roman club would see him as their next top striker. And this is not surprising, the Congolese is having an exceptional season.
27 matches 21 goals in Liga Nos, the former Lens player just wants to be known. He is the second top scorer in the Portuguese championship behind Victor Gyokeres (Sporting Portugal, 27 goals). And the feat doesn’t stop there. If his competitor also has very impressive statistics, there is an important difference with the Congolese striker. The Swede from Sporting started all matches of the season (32) while Simon Banza played 27 matches, only 19 of which as a starter. His performance is therefore all the more remarkable.
Fairly weak competition
Fiorentina and West Ham are also interested in the profile of the 27-year-old Leopard. For the moment, only the two Italian clubs are, among its suitors, on track to compete in European competitions next season. However, no European Cup for the Hammers next season. For the moment it is Roma which would be the most likely destination for the current Braga player, but be careful nothing is decided.
