RC Lens: AS Roma submits first offer for Neil El Aynaoui

AS Roma is making a serious move for Moroccan midfielder Neil El Aynaoui, with an official offer from the Italian club reportedly already on RC Lens' table.

Neil El Aynaoui, under contract with RC Lens until 2027, has attracted interest from several European clubs. While rumors have circulated—especially from Italy—AS Roma has now stepped up its pursuit to secure the talented player’s signature.

According to information from Matteo Moretto, the Giallorossi have initiated contact with Lens’ management. The Italian insider also reports that Roma’s leadership has tabled a €20 million offer. Talks are expected to continue in the coming days as RC Lens hopes to persuade El Aynaoui to remain at the club for at least another season.

Other European clubs are also in the running, including Juventus and AC Milan in Italy, as well as Sunderland, Leeds United, and Wolverhampton in England. Neil El Aynaoui will have plenty of options this summer as he decides on his future.
