Goal.com got their intel from Tuttosport, so I wouldn't take that too seriously.
Btw, the move by DiBenedetto is actually quite logical business-wise. He wants to appeal to the American audience and get views from there. Whether or not this will help Roma win is a different story. But if you think about it, replacing 1-2 average European/Italian players with two average Americans, because that's what they are, wouldn't change much in their quality but get them popular in the States. That might, either quickly or in the long run, generate profit for A.S Roma. Profit that could be spent directly this summer in advance, since buying class players means going far in Europe and getting money.
