There are several issues to resolve: contract renewals, capital gains to be made by June 30th to comply with the settlement agreement, and signings to enhance the squad available to the Grugliasco-born coach, who dreams of Greenwood.

After numerous discussions with the player and his entourage, the Giallorossi club is ready to make a move for Marseille.

In addition to the English winger, Gasperini wants to complete the defense currently consisting of Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso, Ghilardi, and Ziolkowski (who is on his way out).

For long stretches of the season, Roma had the best defense in Europe’s top five leagues. This extraordinary performance was due to the team’s performances when not in possession and the saves of Mile Svilar.

Among the most notable players, Mario Hermoso is a real surprise, given that he was initially excluded from Gasperini’s coaching plans.

As Il Tempo reports, the Giallorossi coach is looking for a left-footed defender as an alternative to the Spanish center-back in the upcoming transfer window.
