Ryan Friedkin meets with Massara and Gasperini to continue transfer discussions | OneFootball

With Leon Bailey’s early departure from Aston Villa, Roma is preparing to strengthen their attack.

The Jamaican’s departure, which allowed the club to save part of his salary (approximately €3.5 million) and €1.5 million on the loan, has opened the door for another attacking winger.

Gasperini has clearly stated his priority for a winger, and Massara has selected a shortlist of six to seven possible reinforcements, including Schjelderup, Godts, Sauer, and Tel.

The idea of ​​signing Carrasco, formerly of Atlético Madrid, seems to be a solution to be considered only in the final days of the transfer window, should one of the main objectives fail to materialize.

Not only that: Gasperini is also seeking a left-back, and Roma is pushing to bring Fiorentina’s Fortini to the capital.

The Giallorossi, according to Il Corriere della Sera, are also willing to involve El Shaarawy in the deal, but the number 92 doesn’t want to leave Trigoria.

Roma’s offer for the 2006-born player is €10 million, while Fiorentina is asking for €15 million. Following Hermoso’s injury, Gasperini’s idea is to move Celik back and provide a reliable replacement for Wesley, given the disappointing performances of former Liverpool player Tsimikas.

After yesterday’s meeting in Trigoria, the Friedkins gave their green light to the negotiations. Now it’s up to Massara to bring the reinforcements requested by the Piedmontese coach to the Giallorossi.
