He is concentrated on his career,” Piraino told our source.
“Diawara is at a top club like Roma, where he is happy, as there is enthusiasm around the new owners.
“However, he is also liked by many clubs in England, including Arsenal.
“Being linked with certain clubs is pleasing for him, as these are prestigious sides.
“Amadou is concentrated on football and his career.”
Diawara joined Roma from Serie A rivals Napoli last year. He scored one goal in 31 appearances across all competitions last season.
