The new Roma, at the corporate level, has an increasingly recognizable face: Ryan Friedkin.
The Giallorossi vice president is behind the transfer market meetings, future strategies, and summits at Trigoria.
Father Dan continues to maintain control of the club, but the transition of responsibility to his son is clear.
On Sunday, Ryan Friedkin traveled with the team by bus from Trigoria to the Stadio Olimpico and, before the derby against Lazio, entered the locker room to address the group and motivate them to get the three points.
This is another strong sign of the vice president’s desire to have an impact within the club.
Friedkin Jr. is exploring several key issues for Roma’s future.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi vice president is considering the return of Francesco Totti, who has already been presented with an ambassadorial contract; all that’s missing is the final green light.
The situation could be resolved after May 22nd, the date of the hearing with Ilary Blasi.
Furthermore, Ryan Friedkin, after several discussions, is expected to choose the new sporting director this week.
This central figure will work with Gasperini to build an ever-stronger Roma. These are crucial days for the Giallorossi’s future.
