The transfer window in Italy is closed but there are teams which haven’t been able to get all the players which they wanted and Roma is among those teams. Giallorossi brought in Santiago Castro, Rodrigo Mora, Nahuel Molina, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Leonardo Balerdi, Marten de Roon, Donyell Malen and Daniele Ghilardi and this is by far their best transfer window in years. The club continued to spend and went into the red — 100 million euros so far — which could prove costly, as they are under a three-year UEFA monitoring period during which they are not allowed to post a deficit of more than 60,000,000 euros. Since the Friedkins took charge of the club, more than half a billion euros has been spent on player purchases, while sales have generated less than 300 million euros. But they need more.Gasperini blocks Kone's move to ChelseaCoach Gian Piero Gasperini got almost all he wanted but one position remains a bit short – the left winger. Stuttgart's Jamie Leweling deal fel throught and the team is still in a need for a inverted winger capable of further increasing the attacking threat. So, a free agent market is being scouted and two names came up. They are both Aficans and one is particular familiar to Manchester United fans: Wilfried Zaha. The Ivorian made his name in Crystal Palace and was a flop at Old Trafford. Since than he moved to Galatasaray in Turkey and then to Charlotte in the USA. The 33-year-old is now a free agent and might sign for Roma, since he failed to do so back in 2023. An alternative to Zaha could be Krepin Diatta, the Senegalese winger who is on the free agent list after his last season at Monaco. Meanwhile, the answer for the left-back position could be the 32-year old exBayern Munich defender Raphael Guerreiro. It’s now up to sporting director D'Amico to sit down with Gasperini and decide should they move for the player and which one.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 3Friday21.45: (4.70) Genoa (3.50) Como (1.80) Saturday17.00: (1.95) Fiorentina (3.45) Torino (4.00) 20.00: (1.65) Inter (3.70) Napoli (5.60)22.45: (1.70) Roma (3.60) Atalanta (5.30) Sunday17.00: (2.75) Frosinone (3.25) Venezia (2.65) 17.00: (2.55) Parma (3.15) Monza (2.95) 20.00: (2.05) Bologna (3.40) Sassuolo (3.70) 22.45: (2.15) Juventus (3.45) Milan (3.70)Monday20.30: (1.97) Cagliari (3.35) Lecce (4.10) 22.45: (2.95) Udinese (3.15) Lazio (2.55) * odds are subject to change
