Harambee Stars defender Joseph Okumu in advanced talks for Ksh 2.1billion move to Italian side
After just one season at Stade de Reims Joseph Okumu is in talks with AS Roma to bolster their defense.
Reports in Italy early this week said Roma have made Okumu one of their key defensive targets ahead of next season as club legend Daniele De Rossi prepares for his first full campaign as coach.
Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, reported that Roma have communicated their interest to the player’s representatives and are looking to spend €15 million (Ksh2.1 billion) to sign him from French Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims.
Pulse Sports, however, understands Roma or any other interested club will have to up their offer to convince Reims to sell after the club shelled out €12 million (Ksh1.7 billion) to sign Okumu from Belgian club KAA Gent last summer.
