While his departure from AS Roma to the Bundesliga seemed all but certain, El Aynaoui’s transfer to RB Leipzig is now hanging by a thread and risks falling through in the final hours of the transfer window.
However, the Moroccan international midfielder had already made a bold decision earlier by turning down Crystal Palace’s advances.
Despite a financial agreement reached between Roma’s management and the London club, the player declined the Eagles offer, initially favoring the German club’s sporting project.
Now mired in uncertainty, the situation has turned into a race against the clock.
It remains to be seen whether RB Leipzig will manage to finalize the details in time or if the Moroccan international will ultimately remain with Roma for the start of the season.
