Roma Ready to Challenge Napoli for Multiple Targets | OneFootball

Roma are setting the stage for another intense summer, and they share some early targets with Napoli, especially Lorenzo Lucca, Igor Paixao, and Oumar Solet. Their director Florent Ghisolfi recently reached out to agent Giuseppe Riso, who represents the Udinese star. The Giallorossi wish to add another quality striker, Calciomercato reports.

They have been informed that his price is about €30M. Investing that much on a marksman hinges on their Champions League qualification. The Azzurri don’t have that problem. Such a deal is a very real possibility for them.

In addition to kicking the tires on Lucca, Roma have contacted the entourages of Paixao and Solet. The former is one of the Partenopei’s favorite targets to fill the void left by the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. His valuation is substantial too, €28/30M.

Instead, Napoli and the capital club will have to tussle with several competitors to put their hands on the Friulani defender. His departure isn’t certain either. He just switched agents and hired the Unique Sports Group. They represent Hakan Calhanoglu, Troy Parrot, Aaron Ramsey, Calvin Bassey, Neco Williams, and Alexis Saelemaekers, among others.

Our Take on Roma, Lucca, Paixao, and Solet

Out of the trio, the last one is the biggest necessity for them, considering Mats Hummels’ imminent retirement. They could use another center-forward but can settle for a less expensive one should they keep Artem Dovbyk. Their other offensive needs, whether a winger or a no.10, will depend on whom they choose to lead their dugout and his go-to scheme.
