Today is Roma's new season gathering day. Coach Gasperini will lead the team to train as a coach for the first time, but there are still no new faces on the first team roster. Currently, only 15 of the 29 registered players are confirmed to stay in the team, of which only 6 are the absolute main players last season. The club still needs at least 8 new players, and the midfield position is the first to be hit.
According to the "Roman Sports", sports director Masala has narrowed the midfield signing target to two: Rios Richard of Palmeiras and Neil Enaoi of Lance. Tottenham's Bisuma is an alternative, but the players are about to turn 30 and have a higher salary; in addition, 21-year-old Rennes midfielder Sisse Jaoi is also on the watch list, which may become a buzzer-bearing trade before closing the window.
Gasperini favored the 25-year-old Colombia international and tried to introduce him when coaching Atlanta last year. Rome informally quoted 25 million euros through the middleman, but Palmeiras insisted on recovering 20-21 million euros net income. The main reason is the complex structure of player ownership: Palmeiras accounts for 70%, former club Guarani accounts for 14%, Flamenco accounts for 6%, and another 10% belongs to the player team, and there is also a commission to be paid to the agent. Palmeiras has begun looking for a replacement. Rios himself has rejected the invitation from West Ham United and asked the club to complete the transfer before the 12th round of the Brazilian League next week to avoid playing against Atletico Minero.
The Moroccan international started for 45 minutes in a friendly match between Lens and Standard Liege 2-2 yesterday. Head coach Pierre Sager said after the game: "If Neil Enaoi is about to leave the team, I will not let him play." Roma is currently worth 20 million euros, and Lens insists on 30 million euros. Both sides may share the profits through easy-to-reach bonuses or a second transfer. However, players need to participate in the African Cup from December to January, which has become a trading obstacle.
Gasperini clearly requires management to accelerate its progress, and Rome will give priority to Rios and strive to use it as the first signing in the summer window.
