Roma have turned their attention away from Chelsea and Arsenal linked winger Yannick Carrasco, it has been claimed.

The Italian giants, who are close to losing Edin Dzeko and Emerson Palmieri to Chelsea, identified the Atletico Madrid man as a possible January signing to strengthen their squad.




However, according to Italian daily Leggo, Roma have shifted their focus from Carrasco after learning that Los Rojiblancos value him at €40m.

It is believed that the Giallorossi were eyeing an initial loan move for Carrasco and wanted to reserve an option to sign him for a fee of around €25m at a later date.
 


The 24-year-old has lost his place in the Atletico Madrid starting line-up, with the Belgium international having thus far made just seven starts in the present campaign.
