After completing the arrival of Marten De Roon and Leonardo Balerdi from OM, Roma still intends to take advantage of the last hours of the transfer window to strengthen its squad according to the Gazzetta dello Sport. Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed that he was expecting a left winger and a defender, believing that these two reinforcements would complete his group. The Italian technician also explained that the arrival of De Roon could offer additional financial margins to the club to move forward on these issues. On the other hand, Gasperini firmly denied any departure from Matías Soulé, ensuring that the Argentinian had not been the subject of any offer and that he was still counting on him.
“To complete the squad, we are still missing a player on the left wing, and we intend to recruit him, in particular thanks to the arrival of De Roon, who will allow us to make a financial profit. It doesn’t matter whether the new winger is right-footed or left-footed: I consider the player as a whole. We are missing a full-back and a full-back. Lulli has somewhat filled the void in the middle, but we shouldn’t put too much pressure on him. If two new recruits arrive, we will be complete. So far, we have changed the squad a lot, rather than the starting XI, in order to make it more competitive given the large number of matches to be played.explained Gian Piero Gasperini in particular at a press conference.
