Overview
- After a 2-1 loss to Juventus, Gian Piero Gasperini said he would choose Paulo Dybala over Evan Ferguson "every time" and described the striker as "not convincing."
- Sporting director Ricky Massara countered that Roma believes in Ferguson, stressing his age and need for adaptation only four months into life in Italy.
- Roma are prioritizing offensive reinforcements in the January window, with reports linking Joshua Zirkzee and Giacomo Raspadori.
- Ferguson is on loan from Brighton with a reported €35–40 million option to buy next summer, and some Italian reports suggest his loan could be reassessed in January.
- The Republic of Ireland forward has three goals in 17 appearances across competitions, including a Europa League brace against Celtic, but has frequently been used from the bench in Serie A.
