Roma agree N’Zonzi deal, but cannot sign the Sevilla midfielder until Gonalons makes way

Steven N’Zonzi has reportedly agreed to join Roma for €25m plus bonuses, but they cannot sign the Sevilla midfielder until Maxime Gonalons makes way.

According to Calciomercato.com, N’Zonzi reached ‘an agreement in principle’ with Roma sporting director Monchi, coincidentally the man who took midfielder to Sevilla in 2016.

The website explains the 28-year-old is currently holidaying in the United States, where the Giallorossi are for their preseason tour, having just won the World Cup with France.

However, the Lupi would have to sell Gonalons first – a task that is not proving easy, with Everton and Crystal Palace seeing their offers ‘returned to sender’.
