Roma's sporting director Massara has contacted Bayer Leverkusen to explore a deal for Montrell Culbreath, a German-US national born in 2007. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini requested that the club add creativity and athleticism to its wide areas, and he considers Culbreath an ideal profile for his 3-4-2-1 system. The player's valuation currently ranges between 7 and 8 million euros, and the operation is viewed as a potential opportunity to sign him before international competition increases his price. An observer from Roma attended the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Leipzig to focus on Culbreath. Zeki Celik's contract nears its June 30 expiration, and a renewal is considered unlikely.
