- Atalanta to fight ليدز for Rowe’s signature
- 22-year-old scored in the U-21 Euros final
- Serie A club consider him replacement for Lookman
With Ademola Lookman possibly leaving to join انتر this summer, Atalanta are on the move to sign a successor to the Nigerian, and according to صحيفة لا جازيتا ديلو سبورت they have identified England U-21 star Rowe as the man to fill the role, joining newly promoted الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز side Leeds in the race. مرسيليا‘s asking price exceeds €20 million (£17m/$23m), despite the winger not being a regular starter last season. However, the الدوري الفرنسي 1 side have spent €16m to sign him permanently from Norwich after his loan period ended and will not let him go cheap.
Rowe, 22, played a key role in England’s U-21 European بطولة triumph this year, as he scored the winning goal in the final against ألمانيا. Moreover, he recorded seven goal contributions in 28 appearances for Marseille last term. After missing out on the signing of Igor Paixao, Leeds have also turned their attention to Rowe. They offered €35m (£30m/$41m) to فينورد in order to acquire his services, so money should not be a roadblock for the Elland Road-based outfit to sign Rowe.
Rowe recorded two goals and an assist for England in the recently concluded U21 Euro. His form in the competition garnered attention from not only Leeds and Atalanta but also بورنموث و روما.
While Robert De Zerbi wants to give Rowe his breakthrough this season, his future may lie elsewhere amid positive interest from Italy and England.
