AS Roma: shunned by Mourinho, this international is tracked in L1

Uzbek Eldor Shomurodov, downgraded to AS Roma since the start of the season, could leave La Louve for the French championship. In any case, this is what the 6th in Ligue 1 hopes for.

Recruited for the modest sum of 18M euros in the summer of 2021, Eldor Shomurodov had a rather convincing first season with AS Roma, with 40 games played, for 5 goals and 6 assists. This season, the 27-year-old is disillusioned, while the Englishman Tammy Abraham and the Italian Andrea Belotti, recruited free in the summer of 2022, are ahead of him in the hierarchy of AS Roma central attackers (8 games played in all competitions, 1 goal).

Alerted by this situation, LOSC would have looked into the case of the former Genoa striker. According to information from Sky Italia, the French club will have competition on the file. Indeed, in Italy, Torino, 8th in the championship, and Cremonese (20th) think of the striker, just like Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. Currently, Eldor Shomurodov, not retained by AS Roma, has a contract extending until 2027 with the Louve. Its market value is 6M euros, according to Transfermarkt.

Jardim is getting closer to the exit

On the departure side, LOSC should soon part with its goalkeeper Leo Jardim. The 27-year-old Brazilian, who became a substitute in Lille, behind the young Lucas Chevalier (21), during the season, is one step away from returning home to Vasco de Gama. According to information from The TeamLOSC and the Brazilian club have reached an agreement for the transfer of the doorman, under contract to Lille since 2019.

Several Brazilian formations courted Leo Jardim, who should commit, unless there is a problem during the medical visit, with Vasco de Gama, for three seasons. In all, the player, who passed through Rio Ave in Portugal and Grêmio in his native country, played 30 games for LOSC, including 6 this season.
