The words of the attorney managing the interests of three Roma players, in addition to Frattesi and Lucca: “Baldanzi? I tried to get him to leave, but Roma opposed it and says he will become a starter.”

Giuseppe “Beppe” Riso, attorney and owner of the agency GR Sports managing the interests of Roma players such as Mancini, Cristante and Baldanzi, as well as Frattesi and Lucca, linked to Ranieri’s team in the winter trading session, gave an interview to La Repubblica. Here are his declarations:

A deal that fell through in the winter football market? “At one point, both Juve and Inter were interested in Cristante, but both would have had to make transfers that they ultimately did not make. Good news for Roma, as they can rely on a senator, a potential captain, a man of personality and experience. At least until June.

How much truth was there in the speculation about Frattesi’s transfer to Roma? “It was my idea. Or, if you prefer, my instigation. I saw Davide in a sullen state as he had hoped to play more, and it deeply saddened me. I began the task of seeking alternatives for him, and not just in Italy. When discussing Frattesi, it is only natural to consider the possibility of him moving to Roma, but there were significant prospects in the Liga and especially in the Premier League. If the deal had materialized, I would have attempted to transfer Cristante to Inter. But everything came to a halt by Davide’s decision, who is too keen on remaining with the black and blues. The team is putting everything on the line, undoubtedly one of the strongest in Europe. “He knows he can still win a lot in Milan.”

Regarding Frattesi’s management in recent months, you have faced a lot of criticism. What is his response? “That I must always do what’s best for my players. Davide is a young man of heart, of sentiment. I saw him struggle, I put him in a position to make a decision and he chose Inter. I didn’t pressure him. “I believe I’ve helped him understand that where he stands, he stands well. And I’ve realized it too,”. What will happen in June? “Hard to say. June is far away and in football things change quickly“. “

Is Lucca ready for the leap into a big club or could a little more Udinese do him good? “The President Pozzo prefers to wait, first Udinese needs to secure their survival. But he knows what’s coming.” He has already gained experience at Ajax, he has an international market. He wants to improve, he works very hard, he is indeed top club material.

Baldanzi seemed destined to leave Trigoria. Has everything changed with the arrival of Ranieri? “Honestly, I tried to get him to leave. They sought him in Florence and Milan, but he was opposed in Rome. They say he is destined to become one of their mainstays. You didn’t provide any text to translate.
