Roma is set to intensify its efforts in the upcoming January transfer window. The club is determined to provide head coach Gian Piero Gasperini with the reinforcements he has sought for an extended period. Two key positions are at the forefront of their strategy: a center forward and a winger.
Potential Reinforcements for Roma
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, Roma’s management is closely monitoring potential candidates. Brighton & Hove Albion could play a significant role in this endeavor, particularly concerning their young forward, Evan Ferguson.
Brighton’s Situation
Brighton has faced challenges recently, losing the services of young striker DnTzimas for some time. The club is now contemplating recalling Ferguson early from his loan. This decision will depend on his performances in the upcoming matches, as Brighton’s management weighs their options.
Joshua Zirkzee: A Key Target
Among the names under consideration, Joshua Zirkzee stands out. The Dutch forward has expressed a desire for a transfer this January, partly due to his limited playing time at Manchester United. With the anticipated return of Benjamin Sesko to United, Zirkzee realizes that game time will be scarce.
World Cup Aspirations
To secure a position in the Netherlands national team for the World Cup, Zirkzee requires regular playing time. Roma is prepared to approach him with a proposal for a loan arrangement that includes an obligation to buy if the club qualifies for the Champions League.
Gasperini’s Plans for the Future
- Roma aims to strengthen with a center forward and winger.
- Joshua Zirkzee is a priority target for the January transfer window.
- The club’s ability to purchase Zirkzee relies on Champions League qualification.
This strategic move reflects Roma’s ambitions and readiness to enhance their attacking lineup. The upcoming weeks will be pivotal in determining the club’s success in the winter transfer market.
