Englishman may return to Misty Albion.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Arsenal intends to compete with Rome in the fight for defender Manchester United Chris Smalling.

Recall that the English football player spends the current season on loan with the Roman team, and Jallorossi wants to buy the player’s contract on a full-fledged basis.

According to the source, the situation with the coronavirus pandemic could force Smalling to return to England in order to be closer to his family, although initially the centerback also intended to stay in Rome.

Earlier it was reported that Manchester United is ready to bring down the cost of a football player if they manage to sign Napoli defender Kalida Kulibali.
