As a member of Sweden national football team, Forsberg won 41 caps and he scored 7 goals.
His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Roma.
Roma shortlist Forsberg as transfer target this summer. The Italian giants have built a reputation for recruiting talent from within Europe, predominantly targeting those with sell-on value and immense potential.
Emil Forsberg has the talent to play many roles in attack.
According to Calciomercato (via BILD), “RB Leipzig’s Emil Forsberg is on Monchi’s wish list, after the deal for Malcom fell through. Roma are currently in search of a winger, as Barcelona snatched Malcom right in front of their eyes. According to the report, Forsberg is a concrete possibility for the Giallorossi, even though the German side have previously stated their unwillingness to sell the Swede. ”
