Manchester United have been chasing Kevin Strootman for a long time now. Following the arrival of Louis Van Gaal in the summer, speculations intensified over a possible summer move to Old Trafford but Strootman’s long-term injury road-blocked any possible deal from happening.
Now, according to the latest reports from English media outlet DAILY EXPRESS, Premier league leaders Chelsea are also interested in Kevin Strootman and are readying a £30m bid for the Roma star. However, Roma have time and again reiterated the fact they aren’t willing to sell their prized asset for any price to potential suitors in the upcoming transfer window.
Roma’s general director Mauro Baldissoni said (to Radio Anch’lo Lo Sport),
“Our club president James Pallotta has already spoken about this and he gets angry with the rumours that link Kevin to Manchester United. Our policy is that of investing in players that have quality but have room for improvement. Kevin is a young player with experience, and we want to build our future with players like him.”
