In his presentation press conference, Gian Piero Gasperini made first announcements on the Roman summer transfer window: “My main objective is to strengthen this team, with as many international players as possible, in order to constitute an increasingly wide core of players, capable of ensuring the continuity of this team and creating the hard core on which, perhaps next year, with more availability, we can integrate these elements which can raise the level, these players currently not found on the market, but that I hope that Roma, with time, can integrate». He also talked about the integration and development of young people.
“”Very few clubs can afford to get already established players. Players, you have to build them very often at home, you have to take emerging players with the possibility that they can achieve objectives, that they can grow. And you see that, to be a high -level team, you need players who also reach these objectives, whether they are players of the national team, international players, who in the cuts are players of thickness and value. This is the program you want to make, sometimes even with emerging players. I remember, Mancini, Cristante: at that time they left the Atalanta early and went to the national team. I would like all these young people, whatever their age, next year has a goal not to defend what they have done so far but to do the best season».
