El Aynaoui Considers Roma Exit Due to Lack of Playing Time Under Gasperini
The future of Moroccan international Naël El Aynaoui at his current club, Italian side Roma, is shrouded in uncertainty due to his limited playing time under coach Piero Gasperini.
According to "Africa Foot," sources close to El Aynaoui's father have confirmed that the Roma player is seriously considering leaving the club during the upcoming summer transfer window.
El Aynaoui has expressed dissatisfaction with his current situation at Roma, believing he deserves more than a secondary role within the squad. He is particularly concerned that a lack of playing minutes could negatively impact his market value.
This season's statistics reinforce his discontent, with El Aynaoui starting only 8 matches across all competitions and making 14 substitute appearances. This rate is considered low compared to his potential, according to the source.
Despite his desire to leave, a departure would not be straightforward. The player joined Roma for €23.5 million and is under contract until June 30, 2030. This gives the Italian club a strong negotiating position and makes any potential deal complex and demanding.
