Wissam Ben Yedder Spotted at Venezia-Roma Match as Transfer Rumors Swirl
Former Monaco striker Wissam Ben Yedder was seen in attendance at Venezia’s recent Serie A match against Roma, adding fuel to rumors of a potential transfer to the Italian club. The French international is currently a free agent after departing Monaco at the end of last season.
Venezia manager Eusebio Di Francesco addressed the speculation after the match, stating: “We are evaluating him, but the final decision does not rest with me. I can only assess him from a technical perspective.” This suggests the club is seriously considering bringing Ben Yedder on board.
Venezia’s sporting director Filippo Antonelli also commented on the situation, saying: “We are deliberating and will make our assessment in the coming days. If we determine it could be beneficial from both a technical and physical standpoint, I will discuss it further with ownership.”
The potential addition of Ben Yedder could provide a significant boost to Venezia’s attack, especially after losing top scorer Joel Pohjanpalo to Palermo in the January transfer window. As the club battles to avoid relegation, an experienced goalscorer like Ben Yedder could prove invaluable.
While no deal has been finalized, Ben Yedder’s presence at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo indicates there is mutual interest between the player and club. Venezia supporters will be eagerly awaiting further developments in this potential transfer saga.
