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 just ended transfer window as exciting as always but had two interesting stories: Malik Fofana’s one day drama between Sunderland and Crystal Palace and Balogun’s failed transfer to Everton, which caused Camara’s failed transfer to Chelsea. The London club was furious as the Senegalese midfielder was their replacement for Enzo Fernandes. In fact, they allowed the Argentinian to join Manchester City when they got positive news from Monaco, only to see them backout in the last minute. And the reason the French club decided to keep the player was their own failure with Everton. During the day, it was agreed that Folarin Balogun, a former Arsenal player should move to Everton. But when he failed his medial, the other agreement was struck, with smaller fee and biggest bonuses, which were connected to his performances, and the deal was back on. But the player then changed his mind, having felt disrespected by Everton and the whole thing ended badly for both clubs.Deadline Day madness: ho..
