Roma is actively pursuing a reinforcement for the left midfield, highlighting this position as a top priority in their transfer strategy.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Frederic Massara and the Friedkin family are particularly focused on acquiring a striker who can ignite the play and fulfill the role as envisioned by Gasperini.

Lorenzo Pellegrini could be a viable option, but his attributes differ from those of the player the coach aims to add for bolstering the attack. While Dybala is versatile across various positions, he flourishes when playing on the left.
Yannick Carrasco has emerged as one of the most talked-about possibilities recently.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma is keenly considering him, especially since the Belgian is reportedly eager to return to Europe, with aspirations of participating in the World Cup with Rudi Garcia’s Belgium.
Carrasco, who currently plays for Al Shabab in Saudi Arabia, is already taking steps toward a potential transfer.

He has expressed interest in Roma through conversations with Hermoso, a former teammate at Atletico Madrid, indicating a genuine desire to don the Giallorossi colors.
Roma is leaning towards a loan arrangement that includes an option to buy for Carrasco, while Al Shabab prefers a full transfer.
Despite having higher salary expectations, Carrasco is reportedly open to significantly lowering his €13 million salary to align with Roma’s financial capabilities.
