Roma are struggling to find positives in their current situation. Their latest defeat in the league against Atalanta has pushed the Giallorossi closer to the bottom of the table, with Ranieri being the third manager in just 14 matchdays. The fans are criticizing veteran players like Cristante and Pellegrini. However, one aspect is particularly concerning: Roma is taking few shots on goal and scoring even less. Dovbyk, the marquee signing from last summer’s transfer window, has only managed 4 goals in the league, while Soulé has scored just once.
Calciomercato report that the Friedkins are disappointed with the team’s results and are determined not to fall short of all objectives by the end of the first half of the season. In the coming days, the American ownership will hold a series of operational meetings to outline their January transfer market strategy. A concrete possibility is the acquisition of a backup striker for Dovbyk.
A potential target gaining traction in recent hours is Everton’s center-forward Beto. There have been contacts with intermediaries to assess the feasibility of the deal. The former Udinese player has underperformed in the Premier League and would welcome a return to Italy, especially to a big club like Roma. Meanwhile, Ghisolfi is working on two departures: Zakewski on a permanent transfer, and Le Fèe on loan, in an attempt to revitalize what was a €23 million plus bonuses investment.
