Roma is making assertive moves in the winter transfer window, focused on bolstering their attacking lineup and addressing the offensive challenges they’ve faced during the first half of the season.
The primary targets for the Giallorossi are still Raspadori and Zirkzee, but they must also consider player sales to facilitate these acquisitions.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma is working on offloading Ferguson and Dovbyk to create space for Raspadori and Zirkzee. While Ferguson is contemplating ending his loan at Brighton, efforts are underway to find a buyer for the Ukrainian forward.
West Ham, who reached an agreement with Lazio for Castellanos, have dropped out of the race, leaving Sunderland as a potential destination for the former Girona player, along with a new possibility.
De Rossi’s Genoa has reportedly expressed interest in Dovbyk, approaching Roma for a loan deal. However, sporting director Massara has turned down the request.
The financial aspects pose a significant barrier, as Roma would need to cover a large portion of Dovbyk’s salary for the remainder of the season.
