Gasperini contacts Mason Greenwood | OneFootball

Mason Greenwood is the dream of Gian Piero Gasperini’s new Roma.

And this time, the Giallorossi coach has taken action himself.

According to the latest rumors, the Piedmontese coach, who left for Turin yesterday, has made direct contact to try to convince the English striker to join the Giallorossi project, obtaining an initial opening from the player.

This is reported in today’s edition of Leggo. He is the first name identified by Gasperini to build a Champions League-caliber attack.

An attacking unit that the coach wants to revolutionize and finally bring to life his footballing vision after a season often characterized by emergencies up front, due to injuries and a shortened squad.

Greenwood, thanks to his technical skills, speed, one-on-one ability, and finishing ability, is considered the perfect candidate to lead the new Roma attack alongside Malen.

The English striker, coming off a very positive season at Marseille, could leave the French club in the coming weeks, partly due to financial concerns related to their failure to qualify for the Champions League, but the Roman club will require a record investment. And Roma’s return to top-flight Europe has been crucial in truly reopening the door.

Naturally, the operation remains complex, especially financially, but in Trigoria, there’s a sense that this time the club is ready to make a significant effort to bring the coach a top-notch signing. This is also because the message the club sent after finishing third is clear: to definitively raise the level of the squad.
