Headline: Roma Targets Young Brazilian Winger Kevin Arroyo for Offensive Boost
Roma is once again turning to Brazil to enhance its attacking options. After monitoring his performance over the summer, the Giallorossi have renewed their interest in Cruzeiro winger Kevin Arroyo.
According to reports from Brazilian outlet RTI Esporte, the 2006-born talent faces stiff competition from Benfica, who have been tracking the promising player at the Belo Horizonte club. Last season, Arroyo showcased his skills by netting 8 goals and providing 8 assists in 50 matches.
Cruzeiro has placed a substantial price tag on Arroyo, valuing him at an impressive €45 million. The blue-and-white club has firmly stated that they will not entertain offers below this asking price. Arroyo’s contract, which runs until December 2029, also features a hefty €100 million release clause and stipulates a 50% resale fee to Independiente del Valle.
