Roma will have to make do without Marash Kumbulla and Stephan El Shaarawy for a month, and they are unlikely to bring in replacements from the transfer market. The two backups picked up thigh strains during the recent romp against Monza, Corriere dello Sport reports.
The Giallorossi are looking for a new destination for Justin Kluivert. They missed out on decent profit since his Fulham move fell through. He would have transferred on a season-long loan with a €9.5M obligation to buy. In addition, he earns €3M per season. The club hopes he will revisit destinations he had previously turned down. Valencia are pushing for him now, Calciomercato relays.
As per Il Messaggero, Roma probably won’t get a new center-back from the transfer market despite needing one, especially after Kumbulla’s injury. PSG outcast Abdou Diallo will join RB Leipzig and was too expensive. Dan-Axel Zagadou isn’t fully convincing due to his injury history. Tottenham demand a hefty option to buy for Japhet Tanganga.

Monza plot to make a late attempt for Eldor Shomurodov, but the capital side wants a robust offer to let him go after paying €18M last year, Gianluca Di Marzio relays. José Mourinho still considers him a valuable backup, Tuttomercatoweb reports.
Our Take on the Final Transfer Market Moves from Roma
Another option in the back wouldn’t hurt, but they won’t have to do weird experiments to find one when needed, as Bryan Cristante has played a lot there with Paulo Fonseca. The arrival of Mady Camara and Lorenzo Pellegrini playing great in a more defensive role gives them flexibility in the midfield. One between Shomurodov and Kluivert has to stay put for depth purposes.
