Roma are planning an attacking overhaul under Gian Piero Gasperini this summer. Tammy Abraham has joined Besiktas and Artem Dovbyk is also set to leave. The club have already secured Evan Ferguson on loan with an option to buy from Brighton, but more moves are expected. Roma are eyeing Manchester United’s Rasmus Hojlund for a potential reunion with Gasperini, who coached him at Atalanta, though no formal approach has been made yet.
THE ECHEVERRI SITUATION
Roma are in talks with City over a loan move for Echeverri, as the Premier League club seek playing time for the Argentine. However, the deal risks collapsing with the English team reportedly preferring a loan to their sister club Girona. Echeverri has rejected that option, expressing a desire to move to Italy instead.
