The rumor has spread extremely rapidly, especially from the parts of Rome. With the epilogue of Mario Hermoso in the capital, practically close to the announcement as a new player of Bayer Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso, the Giallorossi club has activated market radars – because it cannot only remain with three plants in the squad and tends to play with A three -way defense -identifying a particular name that could cover the empty slot in defense.
Who is
These are Mika Marmol, central defender of the Las Palmas: Spanish, born in 2001, of left -handed and 1.81 meters tall, from the summer of 2023 to date he plays in the Gialloblu and could be the winter blow of Rome. Last season he ground 3,181 minutes, becoming a fixed nail of the rear of the then Mister Luis Miguel Carrion, until after 10 games and a medium of poor points (0.40) the Spanish club decided to change direction and take Diego Martinez. In this season, the 23 -year -old from Terrassa is getting noticed for Constance and Continuity and Minutage (a total of 1,364 minutes) proves it.
State of the deal
In fact, Rome has carefully followed the evolution of Mármol and verified its versatility, given that in the canarine team it plays indiscriminately central or left back. The interest is there, but clearly the Capitoline club will have to try to negotiate quickly and without hitches with the Las Palmas: at the moment the 2001 defender has a 10 million euro termination clause and a contract that binds him until 2026 , but the will of the Giallorossi management is to invest a sum of about 7 million, not higher. On the contrary, the holders of the Marmol tag want to collect more than 50% due to Barcelona in case of sale.
Claudio Ranieri’s latest statements
“No questions on the market, I only answer Hermoso. I like it very much but I started with certain players. He has arrived with a good state of form but wants to play … he wants more space. I understand his choice to leave because It deserves to play “, the thought expressed by the Giallorossi coach.
