Tony D’Amico acknowledges Roma roster gaps following transfer deadline day

AS Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico confirmed the club remains one player short following the close of the summer transfer window. Despite successfully acquiring forwards Santiago Castro and Rodrigo Mora along with defender Konstantinos Koulierakis, the team failed to sign a pacy, inverted left-winger as requested by coach Gian Piero Gasperini. D’Amico stated that last-minute deals for targets including Jamie Leweling, Jamie Gittens, and Luiz Henrique did not materialize for various reasons. While the club started the new season with two 4-0 victories, D’Amico expressed concerns about squad depth during the upcoming Champions League campaign. The director plans to evaluate potential targets again when the transfer window reopens in January. He also addressed rumors regarding the coach, clarifying that no ultimatums or resignation threats took place before the deadline passed.
