Roma market, Zirkzee gets complicated: watch out for new Brazilian lead

Roma seems determined to give Gasperini a brand new striker during the winter market. The current offensive department is not fully convincing. The Dovbyk-Ferguson duo does not seem to be able to guarantee the Giallorossi coach those goals needed to aim for something important during this season. There’s a desire to invest in a profile that can solve the Giallorossi&#8217s offensive problems. The’important thing is not to get caught up in the rush and make the right choice.

The Giallorossi management seemed convinced to bet on Zirkzee. Currently under contract with Manchester United, the’former Bologna striker has the right characteristics for Gasperini’s football convictions. However, his arrival seems very complicated indeed. The Red Devils have no intention of selling him on loan but only outright. A path that Roma cannot and does not want to take. Despite the important qualities of the Dutch center forward, his return to the top Italian league seems almost impossible, although in the market you can never tell.

Roma would, however, have other options on the table. One leads to Raspadori who, after a good start, is struggling to find space in Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. However, as reported by Corriere dello Sport, there would be a new name in play. Yuri Alberto. Born in 2004, he plays for Corinthians and is also on the greenoro national team roster. Very strong physically, as a good Brazilian, he also has an’excellent technique and is very quick with the ball between his feet. There is talk of a price tag of between 20 and 25 million euros. An amount that Roma, should someone leave in January, could also invest. Of course, Gasperini’s thinking will also be crucial. The coach, in the choice of the new center forward, will have a very important weight.
