Roma evaluates free agents to address roster needs after transfer window
Summary

Roma is exploring the free agent market to address lingering squad vacancies following the closure of the summer transfer window. The club is specifically seeking reinforcements for the left flank after failing to secure a requested left-back. Reports indicate that Wilfried Zaha is a primary candidate for the side, having been linked to the team previously in 2023. Other potential options currently under consideration by club leadership include Krépin Diatta and Raphael Guerreiro. The latter spent the previous season at Bayern Munich before becoming available. Roma management maintains a targeted approach, intending to pursue only those players who align with the specific tactical requirements of Gian Piero Gasperini.
