Alongside Joshua Zirkzee – as noted over a month ago, Roma is also considering various attacking profiles, and the club is making significant efforts to acquire Giacomo Raspadori, who is expected to depart Atlético Madrid. It has already been mentioned that Lazio also holds interest in Raspadori, who is presently at a standstill in their market pursuits. Gian Piero Gasperini has a high regard for Raspadori, having previously sought him in Bergamo, and views him, as detailed yesterday, as a second striker.

Roma is keeping direct communication with the player’s representatives, and a dual transaction cannot be dismissed, particularly given the extensive attacking context. Leon Bailey’s future is uncertain, while Tommaso Baldanzi might also depart, amid interest from Verona and others. Additionally, there’s the scenario with Stephan El Shaarawy, whose contract is close to expiration.

Significant actions are in motion.
