According to sources, Everton, described as Roma's sister club, have made inquiries about Saud Abdulhamid, which increases the competition for the 24-year-old right-back. Newcastle United have also been closely monitoring the player for a potential move. Abdulhamid is currently at Lens on a successful loan from Roma. His future is complicated because Lens is considering a permanent transfer, while Roma possesses a buy-back option that could permit them to re-sign him and subsequently sell him for a profit.
