Transfer: Boulaye Dia also of interest to Roma - Sport News Africa

Senegalese striker Boulaye Dia will be much in demand this summer. His excellent 16-goal season is attracting interest from a number of clubs, particularly in Italy. After Inter and Fiorentina, it's Roma's turn to take an interest in the African champion, reports La Repubblica. With the serious injury to Tammy Abrahm, Roma coach José Mourinho is looking for a striker for next season. Boulaye Dia is a serious option for the Europa League finalists.

In the coming weeks, the Salernitana will exercise the €12m purchase option to make his contract permanent. The Italian club plans to set a €25 million release clause until the first half of July for clubs wishing to recruit him.
