Roma plans to prioritize attacking winger, not midfield signings
Summary

AS Roma is unlikely to make any midfield signings during the January transfer window. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini is focused on reinforcing the squad with a fast-paced attacking winger, as the team currently sits two points behind Lazio in Serie A standings. The squad will remain with four midfielders—Cristante, Koné, De Roon, and Pisilli—until the end of the season, awaiting the recovery of Lorenzo Pellegrini. No additional signings in other positions are expected as the club aims to shore up their attacking options.
