Roma eye up Raspadori again: long-time favourite of Gasperini | OneFootball

Roma is carefully considering a move that could change the balance of its attacking lineup: the idea of Giacomo Raspadori is taking shape.

Roma, Raspadori is back in fashion: a long-time favorite of Gasperini

The player from Emilia, formerly of Napoli, who joined Atletico Madrid in the summer with high ambitions, has not found the playing time he hoped for and could become a concrete opportunity in the winter transfer window.

According to initial reports, the Giallorossi club has started the first talks with the striker’s entourage. A real negotiation has not yet begun, but the foundations for a constructive dialogue already seem to be in place. Sources close to the player say that Raspadori would not rule out a return to Serie A, especially in a technical environment that would guarantee him continuity and a central role in the project.

On the Spanish side, Atletico Madrid’s position remains to be understood. Raspadori was bought just a few months ago for a total fee close to 26 million euros, and the Colchoneros are considering the possibility of an early departure. This scenario could be unlocked through a loan with an option to buy, with a valuation between 20 and 22 million. This is a formula considered sustainable by Roma and potentially acceptable to the Madrid club.

Roma’s interest is not new. Raspadori is a profile Gasperini has appreciated for a long time, ever since his years at Atalanta. In fact, already last January the Giallorossi management had explored the possibility of bringing him to the capital. Today, thanks to his limited playing time at Atletico, the conditions seem more favorable.

If negotiations reach an agreement, the deal could be finalized in the first weeks of January, offering Roma a dynamic, versatile reinforcement capable of providing additional tactical solutions.

One month separates the capital club from the possibility of closing a deal that, at this point, seems far from unrealistic.
