Rome, the hunt for a successor to Paredes is on. Galatasaray is eyeing Ndicka. Kostic and Tagliafico are considerations for the flank.

Regarding De Cuyper, Club Brugge has set the price: it will take 20 million to acquire him.

Leandro Paredes is one step away from returning to Boca Juniors: only the official announcement is pending, but the ‘Bombonera’ is already prepared to welcome him as a hero. Roma awaits the payment of the clause of 3.5 million euros, which would guarantee a small capital gain (around 2 million). In the meantime, the Yellow-Red club looks to the future and keenly follows with interest. Matt O’Riley of Brighton is being eyed, a profile pleasing to Gasperini who had already requested him during his time at Atalanta. The English midfielder, after a complicated season in the Premier League, is taken with the idea of Roma and has put a freeze on his contacts with Napoli. The price tag stands at an approximate of 30 million euros. Discussion will resume from July onwards, when Massara will have a bigger advantage in the capital gains front. Regarding the Kessie chapter, contacts have been initiated, but the knot of the engagement must be resolved first.

Rome, the hunt is now on for ‘Vice Dovbyk’ following the Shomurodov scandal: mistakenly left behind.

The Uzbek player has remained in the Capital due to bureaucratic issues. Now, Ghisolfi is on the hunt for a new forward.

The quest for Dovbyk’s deputy has begun, possibly late. Already this summer, there was a need to intervene in the market, but the failed transfer of Shomurodov, due to an error, complicated the plans. The Uzbek was a step away from Atlanta, a team that plays in the Major League Soccer. The soccer transfer market in America closed on August 14th, and negotiations have been scuppered due to bureaucratic reasons. This misunderstanding has left Roma unable to find a valid alternative to Artem, who now is forced to play all the matches despite a problem with his left knee. On January 2nd, the winter transfer window opens and Ghisolfi must hunt for a new striker. Topping the list are the red-hot prospects, Beto and Raspadori. The former would prefer a return to Italy after a negative experience in the Premier League, while the Italian needs more playtime, and is getting little under Conte at Napoli. Shomurodov, after his goal against Empoli on the second day of the championship, has struggled to make a decisive impact, particularly in his poor performances in the Europa League against modest opponents.
