Report: £10 million Leeds player reportedly facing significant rejection

Italian publication Corriere Dello Sport reports that Rasmus Kristensen, currently on loan from Leeds United, may not be included in Roma’s Europa League squad due to a challenging beginning under the management of Jose Mourinho.

The 26-year-old defender made the decision to join Roma during the summer transfer window, along with seven other players from Leeds who are also on loan. Diego Llorente, another player from Leeds, is currently at Roma as well and has had a promising start.

Kristensen, the talented Danish player, made his debut for Roma in their opening match of the season against Salernitana. However, he could only stay on the field for 65 minutes before being substituted. In his second appearance, a disappointing 2-1 loss to Verona, he was taken off at halftime.

Over the weekend, Roma faced another defeat against Milan, resulting in Kristensen being dropped from the starting lineup. He remained on the bench throughout the match. Unfortunately, things may continue to deteriorate for Kristensen.

Kristensen’s potential exclusion from Roma’s Europa League squad is due to his involvement in international matches during the first week after the break. This information is detailed in the report.

Leeds man Kristensen could miss on place in Roma squad

Even though seven players have left the team, including Gini Wijnaldum, Nemanja Matic, and Nicolo Zaniolo, and seven have entered the team, including £10 million Kristensen, the situation is not as straightforward as seven in, seven out. FFP is relevant.

the worth of the players who have joined and left the team. Roma believes they can only use five of their new recruits. Zeki Celik and Rick Karsdorp are the two right-backs that Roma currently has.

 

Thus, both Serdar Azmoun and Kristensen, two more recent additions to Roma, could be dropped from the team. Definitely a setback for the Dane, who probably joined for the Europa League.
