The Latest AS Roma News
Following opinion on this blog that right back is perhaps the only area that Roma need to strengthen in January, it looks as if Monchi is having the same thoughts.
There have been several reports this week regarding who he may target in that position, despite comments he had made earlier that he wouldn't be making any signings in January. With the injury to Rick Karsdorp however, he may be forced to act in the winter window, and four names have been linked to fill the right back role. Aleix Vidal The most frequent link with Roma has been Aleix Vidal. Were he to be purchased, it would be the second time Monchi had signed him, after bringing him to Sevilla in 2014. The Barcelona right back appears to be Monchi's first choice addition and enquiries have reportedly already been made. Matteo Darmian A player seemingly perpetually linked with a return to Serie A is Manchester United's Matteo Darmian. The Italy international is versatile and can play on either side of defence. He is also experienced and, if brought to the club, would add solidity to the backline. Davide Zappacosta A rumour that seems less likely is that of Davide Zappacosta. He only joined Chelsea in the summer, but has failed to work his way into the starting eleven on a regular basis. Hence, he may desire to play elsewhere, with Roma being potential suitors. However, it's probably more likely that he will want to stay at Chelsea to fight for a place. Sime Vrsaljko A player who worked with Eusebio Di Francesco at Sassuolo, Roma could look elsewhere in their Champions League group by bringing in Atletico Madrid's Vrsaljko. However, recent reports have suggested he is closer to a transfer to Napoli than to Roma. It will presumably be a quiet window, but this is one area that it seems needs adding to. Any of these four names could be a good option; only Monchi knows which one he will pursue.
