Hellas Verona and Roma are engaged in advanced discussions regarding a potential loan deal for Tommaso Baldanzi. The young midfielder`s move to Verona is becoming increasingly likely.
Roma made a significant investment in Baldanzi in January 2024, acquiring him from Empoli for €11.5 million plus bonuses. However, the 22-year-old Italian has found it challenging to secure regular playing time at Roma. The recent tactical changes implemented by new coach Gian Piero Gasperini have further complicated Baldanzi`s situation at the club.
Sources indicate that intensive negotiations took place between the clubs and Baldanzi`s agent, with all parties open to the possibility of a loan transfer. It remains unclear whether the deal will include an option for Verona to purchase Baldanzi at the end of the loan period.
Baldanzi, who is under contract with Roma until June 2028, had previously attracted interest from other Italian clubs including Parma, Torino, and Udinese during the summer transfer window. However, Verona has emerged as the frontrunner to secure the services of the Empoli youth academy product.
The potential move to Verona could provide Baldanzi with the opportunity for more regular playing time and aid in his development. The talented midfielder has already represented Italy at the Under-21 level and is considered a promising prospect for the future.
