In order to vie for a Champions League spot through the remainder of the season, Roma, under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini, will need to secure some additional transfers.

On the subject of Giacomo Raspadori, Atlético Madrid has yet to finalize a loan deal without a buy obligation. Roma, on the other hand, would prefer a loan with an option to buy, which could potentially convert into a mandatory purchase under certain conditions.
The Giallorossi are also in negotiations with Manchester United regarding the transfer of Joshua Zirkzee, who has shown interest in moving to Trigoria.
The primary concern is whether the English club is willing to part with him; however, they may allow the player to leave before mid-January.
In addition to bolstering their attack, Roma is also in the market for a new defender.
With Ndicka away at the Africa Cup of Nations representing Ivory Coast, Gasperini has recommended Axel Disasi as a potential candidate to strengthen the Giallorossi defense, opening the door for a possible transfer.
This former Monaco player, who is currently with Chelsea, would need to make a permanent move to Roma, as the Blues have filled all available loan slots, according to Il Tempo.
