Roma market, Gian Piero Gasperini targets one of his pupils for attack
Roma soccer market: if there is one aspect that is creating some perplexity for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Giallorossi, who also find themselves at the top of the Serie A standings in cohabitation with Inter Milan, it is the starting center forward. So far, both Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson have struggled, which is why the Capitoline management could make an overbearing return to the market in January. Perhaps by gifting their coach with one of his old pupils.
If in fact there have been recently multiplying rumors about a possible arrival in the Giallorossi of Joshua Zirkzee, the’former Bologna center forward certainly does not represent the’only option under consideration by Roma market operators. Indeed, the latest suggestion leads to none other than Gianluca Scamacca, famously dear to Gasperini for the work the two did together at Atalanta. The knots to untie, however, are not lacking.
On the one hand, the physical and athletic fitness of a player who several times has seen his career slowed down by even very heavy injuries is frightening. On the other, it is necessary to verify Atalanta’s willingness to negotiate his transfer, given that Scamacca has just become available again and with the new technical guidance entrusted to Raffaele Palladino he could prove to be, as in the past, the real fulcrum of the Dea offensive department.
The player is a real asset for Roma.
To Roma’s advantage, however, are the origins of Scamacca, who by dressing in Giallorossi would return to the city where he was born as well as to the club where he grew up. To make his arrival concrete, the Giallorossi would have to deprive themselves of one of the strikers currently in the squad (probably Ferguson, who could return to Brighton). Finally, it is complicated to establish a formula that would also please Atalanta: with Ademola Lookman in turn in the balance, a loan with obligation of redemption for another big name on the roster might not be accepted by the orobici.
