Roma didn’t reach all their goals during the summer window, but some help could come from the players currently without a team. The Giallorossi are currently short one attacker and one wing-back.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, director Tony D’Amico is contemplating, in particular, Wilfred Zaha, who was already close to them in 2023. He was at Crystal Palace at the time. He then played for Galatasaray and Charlotte FC. He totaled 13 goals and 8 assists in 48 appearances during his time in the United States.

Roma are looking for someone with different traits than Rodrigo Mora and Lorenzo Pellegrini, who are more technical than pacey. Krepin Diatta represents a possible alternative to the Ivorian veteran. He starred for Monaco in the most recent campaign, assisting once in 22 matches.

Instead, for the other role, the most tangible option is Raphael Guerreiro. A few Serie A and foreign teams tested the waters for him throughout the summer, but he hasn’t signed with any club yet. He was a rotational piece for Bayern Munich for the past 3 seasons, recording 14 goals and 8 assists in 95 outings.

Our Take on Roma

Their offensive makeup isn’t ideal, as they have a bunch of talented players with similar characteristics, but they have enough depth. They can explore solutions with Donyell Malen and Santiago Castro together if they need to. It’ll likely take a significant injury for them to add there. Instead, they could indeed use a left-back. It’s odd that they didn’t look further after the Jayden Oosterwolde deal fell through. Still, there’s a reason these players are still available.
