Roma complete their latest midfield reshuffle, with Neil El Aynaoui set to leave the club for RB Leipzig after the deal is finalized, according to Fabrizio Romano. Both outlets report the transfer is agreed as part of Roma’s efforts to adjust their midfield options.
In the same move, Roma also secure Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon, with Football Italia describing the agreement as an unexpected twist. The reports frame El Aynaoui’s departure and de Roon’s arrival as linked, suggesting Roma use outgoing transfer activity to bring in a replacement. While the outlets differ in emphasis—Yahoo Sports focuses on El Aynaoui’s “done deal” status, and Football Italia highlights the shock element of the swap—both present the same core outcome: El Aynaoui transfers to Leipzig and de Roon joins Roma.
