Overview
- Tony D’Amico confirmed Thursday that Roma is actively studying the free-agent market as a way to add an attacker after the summer window closed.
- Italian reports name Wilfried Zaha, Raphael Guerreiro and Krepin Diatta as the principal free-agent targets under consideration.
- Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants a true left-sided attacker to fit his preferred 3-4-2-1 system and the club failed to fill that role before the transfer deadline.
- Any free-agent signing could be completed outside the transfer window but cannot be added to Roma’s Champions League squad until UEFA’s February 4 registration deadline.
- The reported candidates present clear trade-offs between immediate tactical fit, physical profile and age, so Roma’s final choice will weigh short-term impact against longer-term contribution.
