last week, sports witness Fulham and Newcastle United reported interest in AS Roma’s Zeki Celik.
It comes after uncertainty emerged over the defender’s future at the Italian giants. His current deal expires in the summer, but so far, the Giallorossi have struggled to get close to a renewal agreement.
His salary offer is much lower than the demands of Zeki Celik’s camp. The player is looking for €4m per year, this figure will be after tax.
This was giving other clubs, including Juventus, the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer. Now, Newcastle United and Fulham may have some certainty over the player’s future.
Zeki Celik is likely to leave Roma
Today, messenger Have a detailed report on the 29-year-old and his future.
The Türkiye international will ‘pack his bags’ for the summer. His team’s demands of €4m per season have proved decisive in this matter, with Roma now pushing back with a new offer.
The report mentions interest from Premier League clubs – possibly Newcastle United and Fulham. Juventus are currently the frontrunners for his signature but the matter has not been resolved yet. Zeki Celik’s next destination has not yet been decided, his agent is exploring the market.
Roma are believed to be already looking for a replacement and this is a sign that the right-back could definitely be leaving.
Why is the player pushing the salary issue?
At 29, Zeki Celik’s next club will be his last big pay check and he is determined to make the most of the opportunity.
There is no doubt how much his stature has grown since Claudio Ranieri returned to Roma last year. He has continued that form under Gian Piero Gasperini this season, starring at right wing-back.
He has also made a place for the left wing-back. The former Lille player may not be a young prospect but offers credibility. Having previously only been a back-up, the Türkiye international may also be happy with a limited squad role.
That’s why this could be an attractive opportunity for both Newcastle United and Fulham. He also boasts European experience, which will particularly appeal to the Magpies.
