Roma is preparing to get into the thick of future planning with Ryan Friedkin’s arrival at Trigoria, a move that will mark the beginning of crucial days for next season.

There are significant issues on the table, from choosing a new sporting director to the transfers that may be necessary to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

But, as always, between financial matters and corporate strategies, the transfer market is already being looked at to build the squad to be entrusted to Gian Piero Gasperini.

And a name of international caliber is emerging in defense.

In addition to Jayden Oosterwolde, Roma is also reportedly evaluating the possibility of signing Nathan Aké, as reported by Nicolò Schira.

A Dutchman born in 1995, Aké is on his way out of Manchester City after years of success under Pep Guardiola and has also been linked with Juventus and Inter.

This move would not be in line with the Giallorossi’s recent strategy, which has focused more on young, sustainable players.

From a technical standpoint, Aké would be a perfect fit for Gasperini’s style of play: a natural left-footer, accustomed to playing as a left-back, and with extensive international experience.

His contract expires in 2027, and his value is around €15 million. Nothing concrete is currently known, but his name could gain traction in the coming weeks.
