"Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare is attracting renewed interest from AS Roma, with the Serie A club assessing a mid-season move as they reshape their midfield options. Soumare remained at the King Power in the summer despite Leicester's relegation from the Premier League. Roma have been linked with multiple midfield profiles as they plan for absences and look to add physical presence in front of the defense."
"In Gian Piero Gasperini's high-intensity approach, a screening midfielder who can hold position and recycle play has clear value, and Soumare's profile fits that brief. The Frenchman stayed at Leicester in the summer and is under contract to 2026. Leicester may still be open to a budget-friendly negotiation to avoid being stuck with a depreciating contract, with figures as low as 10m floated in the media."
"As for the player, he might be open to a move away from the English club since their promotion to the Premier League is not guaranteed and at Roma, he would get the opportunity to play top level football. Alongside Roma, Sevilla, where Soumare spent last season on loan, and Monaco are also thought to be keen, raising the prospect of a January move."
AS Roma are evaluating a mid-season signing of Leicester midfielder Boubakary Soumare to strengthen midfield options and add physical presence ahead of the defense. Soumare remained at Leicester after relegation and spent 2023/24 on loan at Sevilla before returning to the Midlands. The player's profile suits a screening, position-holding role in a high-intensity tactical setup. Soumare is contracted to 2026, but Leicester may accept a modest January fee—figures as low as £10m have been mentioned—to avoid a depreciating asset or potential free departure in the summer. Sevilla and Monaco have also shown interest.
