Roma’s winter transfer window could take an unexpected turn.
A few days ago, negotiations for Giacomo Raspadori seemed to be progressing smoothly, but now they risk hitting a snag, even though an agreement has been reached between the Giallorossi and Atlético Madrid.

Reports from Spain are highlighting this shift in circumstances.
The only remaining hurdle in the deal is securing an agreement between Roma and the player.
However, this is where concerns arise, particularly regarding the striker’s true intentions, which appear to diverge from what the Roma management had anticipated.
According to AS, Raspadori is not keen on leaving Atlético Madrid.
The striker reportedly enjoys his time in the Spanish capital and feels frustrated that Roma and Atlético discussed his transfer without involving him directly in the talks.

If this situation is confirmed, it would significantly alter Roma’s transfer plans and affect sporting director Frederic Massara’s strategy.
Raspadori is one of Gian Piero Gasperini’s top targets, alongside Joshua Zirkzee, and his failure to join the club would push Roma to reassess their attacking strategies and goals.
