Roma coach Spalletti admits Liverpool, Arsenal target Paredes can be sold

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti admits Leandro Paredes could be sold.

The Argentine is being linked with Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal and Leicester City.

"I did not ask for Paredes to be sold," noted Spalletti. “If there is an analysis of the dynamics of the transfer market and the desire of the player, then that must be asked of the club or the player.

“I think being able to replace a player who leaves is a quality in itself. You are not alone, you must always deal with all the other elements that pass by in life and preparation makes the difference in these situations.

“I think Roma are working well. We've sold players with a good future ahead of them, but Roma always had a solid campaign in a difficult league.

“Paredes is a great midfielder, the perfect playmaker. He showed no desire to leave. If the club has to sell in order to balance Financial Fair Play, then that's another thing to be evaluated."
