Roma evaluates free agent left-backs Raphael Guerreiro and Oleksandr Zinchenko

Summary

Roma continues searching for reinforcements to improve Coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad. Sporting director Tony D’Amico is currently reviewing available free agents to address a vacancy at left-back. The club turned to the market for unattached players after previous transfer negotiations for other targets concluded without success. Raphael Guerreiro, formerly of Bayern Munich, is under consideration following a three-season stint in Germany where he recorded 95 appearances and 14 goals. Oleksandr Zinchenko is also being observed for the position. Zinchenko has previous experience with Nottingham Forest and Ajax, though his recent playing time has been limited to 12 combined appearances across those two clubs. Roma aims to secure a player who can contribute immediately to the first team.
