Roma have Joao Palhinha on their radar

The summer transfer market is not over, and much less for a Roma side who are looking for new signings to improve their squad. Xhaka will stay at Arsenal so Jose Mourinho's side will have to look for another candidate for the midfield. 

It seems like the Italian outfit have now focussed on Joao Palhinha, a Sporting Lisbon player. According to 'Tele Radio Stereo' journalist Flavio Tassotti, Roma have shown interest in the footballer. 

The midfielder is a very important player for the Portuguese outfit, who do not seem willing to sell him. Tottenham also asked about him, but Sporting demanded a minimum offer of 40 million euros. 

The Lisbon based club do not want to let Palhinha go and Tassotti says they have put a 50 million euro price tag on him. He was a key player last season and he made 38 appearances.
