AS Roma has turned its attention to Chelsea winger Jamie Gittens amid cooling interest in Antonio Nusa. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini seeks a left-sided attacking midfielder but faces financial constraints, including a wage ceiling of around €4m. Leipzig’s €60m valuation of Nusa has deterred Roma, prompting them to consider Gittens and Lyon's Malick Fofana, valued at around €45m. Roma may explore a loan for Gittens if Chelsea is amenable to that arrangement.
