Roma are turning towards Olympique Marseille winger Jonathan Rowe, who could cost circa €20m, after Igor Paixao agreed a lucrative transfer to France.

The Giallorossi had wanted an attacking wide player to suit new coach Gian Piero Gasperini and Paixao was one of the first choices.

However, it quickly became apparent that the Feyenoord man was going to be too expensive, as today Olympique Marseille beat Leeds United to the deal with an offer worth €30m plus €5m in add-ons.

According to Calciomercato.com, Roma are instead turning their focus towards a player whose place will be taken by Paixao.

Rowe is fresh from winning the Under-21 European Championship with England and completed the transfer from Norwich City to Marseille for a total €16.5m after an initial loan.

Atalanta had also been linked with the 22-year-old, seeing him as an alternative to Ademola Lookman if the Nigerian moves to Inter.

The arrival of Paixao means Marseille are more likely to sell and it’s reported the asking price is now €20m.

Rowe scored three goals with three assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances last season.
