#3 Clement Grenier – AS Roma

PALERMO, ITALY - MARCH 12:  Clement Grenier (R) of Roma in action as Alessandro Diamanti of Palermo tackles during the Serie A match between US Citta di Palermo and AS Roma at Stadio Renzo Barbera on March 12, 2017 in Palermo, Italy.  (Photo by Tullio M. Puglia/Getty Images)
A fleeting visit to the Italian capital from Grenier

Unable to regain his spot with Lyon, Clement Grenier was given a footballing lifeline by Roma in the winter transfer window, with both hoping for a profitable relationship. The Frenchman could rediscover his dazzling form and the capital club could maybe get that extra push in their battle against Napoli and Juventus.

Unfortunately, that sounds more like a lie each party told themselves rather than the reality. The 26-year-old amassed just 150 minutes on the field for Roma, creating an assist in his only start against the hapless and eventually relegated Palermo.

It’s back to square one for the Lyon maestro, who has been ravaged by injuries since his breakout seasons between 2012 and 2014. It was worth the risk at least on both parties but Roma will be looking elsewhere this summer for some extra attacking flair.
