In recent weeks, there have been strong rumors linking Belgian forward Dries Mertens with a sensational return to Serie A to join AS Roma. The 36-year-old Napoli star has been a pivotal figure in the Italian league since joining Napoli in 2013, amassing an impressive goal tally and earning a reputation as one of the league’s most prolific attackers. With his contract at Napoli set to expire at the end of the season, speculation about his future has been rife, and Roma seems to be a potential destination for the veteran forward.
Dries Mertens linked with Roma in Serie A return rumors
Mertens previously spent six successful years at Napoli, establishing himself as a club legend and leaving a lasting impact on their supporters. His potential move to Roma could provide them with a much-needed attacking boost, as the Giallorossi aim to challenge for Serie A honors once again. The prospect of Mertens lining up alongside the likes of Lorenzo Pellegrini and Henrikh Mkhitaryan would undoubtedly excite Roma fans and add significant firepower to their front line.
However, while the rumors continue to circulate, no official confirmation has been made by either club regarding the potential transfer. Negotiations are likely to take place over the coming weeks, and other clubs may also show interest in acquiring Mertens’ services. It remains to be seen whether the Belgian forward will indeed return to Serie A, but one thing is for sure – his vast experience and goal-scoring prowess could be a game-changer for any team fortunate enough to secure his signature.
