Raspadori ‘never wanted to speak’ with Roma as he arrives for Atalanta medical

Roma director Claudio Ranieri says Giacomo Raspadori ‘never wanted to speak’ with the Giallorossi, and the Italian striker has now begun his medical tests with Atalanta.

Italian striker Raspadori will undergo medical tests with Atalanta today before completing a permanent €25m move from Atletico Madrid.

Several Serie A clubs, including Roma, Lazio and Napoli, were said to be interested in the 25-year-old, and the Giallorossi had reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid over a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
