Roma are set to miss out on signing Manchester United defender Chris Smalling on a permanent basis.
The centre-back has produced some impressive performances while on loan at the Italian club but Roma's financial problems mean that they won't be able to extend Smalling's stay at the Stadio Olimpico.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Roma's half-yearly losses are €87million (£77.5million) and they are at risk of missing out on Champions League football for the second season in succession, which would hinder them further financially.
Given the uncertainty regarding whether Serie A will return this season because of the coronavirus pandemic, there are fears that Roma could struggle even more in a financial sense.
