Rome: Genoa asks for 20 million euros for Goodmondson. Rome hopes to rent + forced buy

June 16, According to the "Roman Sports" report, Roma intends to introduce Icelandic striker Albert Goodmondson this summer.

Godmondson, 28, was loaned to Florence by Genoa last summer, with a loan fee of 6 million euros, and Florence can also choose to buy him out for 17 million euros. Goodmondson made 33 appearances for Fiorentina last season, scoring 8 goals and assisting 3 times. But "Roman Sports" revealed that Fiorentina does not want to buy out players, and Genoa is looking for a new buyer for Goodmondson.

Some Premier League clubs are interested in players, and Roma is also considering introducing Goodmondson this summer. After Roma's new coach Gasperini took office, some adjustments to the team's forward line are needed to ensure that Roma improves its attack power in the new season. Currently, Rome sports director Gisolfi has not officially started negotiations with Genoa, but has evaluated the possibility of signing Goodmondson.

The Roman Sports said that Genoa's valuation for Goodmondson was about 20 million euros, but Rome's proposal was to use Schaumurodov and Goodmondson to exchange loans and add a mandatory buyout clause. Uzbekistan striker Shomurodov reproved himself in Roma last season, and Genoa also needs to introduce a center to replace Pinamonti, who has expired on loan.

For Roma, this will reduce the expenses for forward signings this summer, and strive to meet other Gasperini's signing requirements with a limited budget. Genoa can also get the center that coach Vieira wants. And Shaumurodov will get more opportunities to play next season and prepare for the 2026 World Cup.

However, Goodmondson is still facing a big problem, that is, his alleged sexual assault lawsuit is not over yet. More than a year ago, a woman accused Goodmondson of sexual assault. Previously, the Iceland court had contacted Goodmondson to be acquitted, but the other party appealed again. The third trial will be held in October this year, which will be the final judgment, and Goodmondson hopes to resolve the matter as soon as possible so that he can focus on football.
