Roma demand £60 million for Kevin Strootman

Serie A side AS Roma are hoping to keep hold of key midfielder Kevin Strootman by placing a £60 million price tag on the Dutchman’s head.

Strootman has been a revelation since joining the Italian team from PSV Eindhoven in 2013 for a fee in the region of £18 million, and his form has attracted stuttering Premier League giants Manchester United.

The Dutch midfielder is currently out of the side through injury, which put off any bids for him this summer. However, now he’s on the road to recovery Louis Van Gaal is hoping to try and prise him to Old Trafford in January.

United bought in Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera and Daley Blind this summer to fill the three midfield positions so a move at that fee may not be necessary, although it won’t stop Van Gaal trying to sign his Dutch compatriot.

Strootman apparently is prepared to work with Robin Van Persie’s agent in a bid to force through a move to Manchester United, but they’ll do well to convince Roma into letting go one of their most key and valuable assetts.
