Rome, Italy – The race for Polish defender Jan Ziolkowski is heating up, with AS Roma and Udinese both vying for the 20-year-old’s signature.
According to reports, Roma has submitted the best financial proposal to his club, Legia Warsaw, while Udinese has also forwarded their own bid.
Ziolkowski, a promising center-back who has already gained significant experience with 35 appearances for Legia Warsaw, has attracted attention from several clubs across Europe.
Roma’s strong financial offer is a clear indication of their intent to win the race for the defender.
While the Giallorossi have made a compelling offer to Legia Warsaw, they are now focused on reaching a personal agreement with Ziolkowski and his representatives.
The defender is reportedly keen on the move to Italy, and Roma are confident they can finalize the deal.
Udinese, meanwhile, have also made their interest clear with a formal proposal. Reports from TransferFeed indicate that Udinese’s bid is around €3 million, a figure that may be lower than Roma’s, but the club is hoping to convince the player with the promise of regular first-team football.
Ziolkowski’s potential arrival would be a significant addition to Roma’s defensive ranks, which have already been bolstered this summer by the signing of Daniele Ghilardi.
The club is looking to add more quality and depth to their squad under new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, and Ziolkowski is seen as a key long-term investment.
