Roma are gearing up for a busy summer since half of their squad was on loan and several other players weren’t up to snuff. Daniele De Rossi and new director Florent Ghisolfi had their first meeting at the Trigoria training center to outline the strategy, Corriere della Sera informs (via Tuttomercatoweb).
The Giallorossi are waiting in the wings to see what happens between Juventus and Federico Chiesa. They’ll table a competitive offer if he is put for sale. They are eyeing also other Serie A attackers, for instance Nicolas Gonzalez and Armand Laurienté. Fiorentina exec Daniele Pradè stated the star had a 99 percent chance of staying. The Frenchman will depart Sassuolo.
Roma need to bolster the midfield and set sights on Matteo Prati, Corriere dello Sport informs. De Rossi made him debut in Serie B with SPAL. He had a seesawing maiden season in the top flight with Cagliari, which paid €5M to sign him. They want around €15M now. The Giallorossi will prioritize acquiring youngsters and Italians.
Per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Arnaud Kalimuendo would be their primary target should Tammy Abraham depart. Instead, Nicolas Tagliafico is an option to replace Leonardo Spinazzola. Lens’ Andy Diouf is also in their crosshairs for the midfield.
Our Take on Roma
They’ll be one to watch this summer as they’ll reshape the squad following a midseason coaching change, but how much they can spend is always a big doubt given their FFP-related problems. They have needs at every level, but the most pressing ones are a left winger and a right-back.
