AS Roma have asked Avellino for more time before allowing Emanuele Lulli to leave the club, according to Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà.
Avellino had identified the 2005-born Roma right-back as a leading target for the position. However, the Giallorossi are not yet ready to release the academy defender, creating uncertainty around the proposed move.
The Serie B club have consequently shifted their attention to Simone Cinquegrano, a 22-year-old right-back owned by Sassuolo. Negotiations for the Italian defender are now reportedly close to completion.
Cinquegrano can operate as either a traditional full-back or a wing-back, offering Avellino a versatile alternative on the right flank.
The change of direction does not necessarily rule out a future move for Lulli, but Avellino are unwilling to wait indefinitely for Roma’s approval. With the Cinquegrano deal now approaching its final stages, the club appear ready to secure a different option.
