Matias Soulé has been proposed to Milan as Roma continue to look for a buyer this summer, with the Giallorossi understood to have set an asking price of €30m, according to Football Italia.
The report adds that the 23-year-old is not part of Gian Piero Gasperini’s plans going forward, and that Soulé is one of the most likely candidates to be moved on as Roma attempt to generate funds for further business in the market.
Roma’s stance: sale preferred, price set
Roma’s position, per Football Italia, is clear: they want to sell Soulé and have attached a €30m valuation to the Argentina attacker. The club, the report notes, has found it difficult so far to locate a buyer willing to meet their demands.
Roma’s logic is also tied to the initial outlay. Football Italia reports that Roma paid €28.6m plus bonuses to sign Soulé from Juventus in the summer of 2024, making this a deal where the capital figure matters if they are to avoid taking a significant loss.

Why Milan are being mentioned — and what it would mean tactically
According to Football Italia, the proposal to Milan has been raised via Fabrizio Romano’s Italian-language YouTube channel, with the idea being that Soulé could remain in Italy’s top flight rather than moving abroad.
From a profile standpoint, the appeal is straightforward: Soulé is described in the report as a winger who can also operate behind the striker as a trequartista. That versatility matters in modern squad-building, where wide players are increasingly required to occupy half-spaces, receive between the lines and contribute as secondary creators rather than staying glued to the touchline.
For Milan, the key question is not whether Soulé has the skillset to fit a Serie A contender — his output at Roma suggests he can contribute — but whether the €30m price point aligns with their priorities and whether they see him as a starter-level addition or a high-upside rotation option.
What happens next: market reality and Roma’s need to fund moves
Football Italia reports that interest from a long list of clubs had previously been cited but has since cooled, including Besiktas, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Sunderland, VfB Stuttgart, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli. That context helps explain why Roma may now be more open to creative solutions — including offering the player to a domestic rival — if it brings them closer to their valuation.
The near-term dynamics are likely to hinge on three factors:
- Milan’s willingness to engage at Roma’s €30m level (or negotiate it down).
- Roma’s urgency to raise funds for other incoming transfers, as stated by Football Italia.
- Soulé’s preference on staying in Serie A versus considering alternatives if Italian options don’t materialise.
For now, the story remains a proposal and valuation rather than a confirmed negotiation or bid. But with Roma actively trying to move Soulé on, and Milan a named potential destination, this is one to watch as the summer market develops in Serie A.
