The Latest AS Roma News
Transfer season is nearly upon us, and the rumours are starting to fly around.
To help you keep up-to-date with anything you might have missed, here is the Roma Rumour Roundup. Roma to target Ilicic According to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Roma will be locked in a two-way battle for Atalanta star Josip Ilicic in the summer. Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini has now moved up the pecking order in the race to become Roma's next coach, after Antonio Conte and Maurizio Sarri both distanced themselves from the job. If Gasperini does move to Roma - which would be unlikely if Atalanta finish the top four - then he will reportedly target 31-year-old attacking midfielder Ilicic, who has scored 11 league goals this season. Napoli are also interested, but are said to be concerned about his age. Wenger a managerial target Joining Gasperini in Roma's list of managerial targets is former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger. The veteran coach is admired by James Pallotta's advisor, Franco Baldini, and Corriere Dello Sport believe he could be a candidate to take over on the Roma bench. Alternatively, Laurent Blanc or Shakhtar's Paulo Fonseca are also possibilities. Petrachi meets with Roma One man who could be key in the summer is Gianluca Petrachi, tipped by some to become Roma's next sporting director. Il Romanista claim that the Torino director met with members of the Giallorossi hierarchy earlier this week. Defensive reinforcements Corriere Dello Sport also suggest that Roma will need to raise over €50m in the event of missing out on Champions League, which means Kostas Manolas is likely to be sold. Arsenal and Juventus are interested in the defender, who would prefer to stay in Italy. To replace him, Petrachi could bring Nicolas Nkoulou or Armando Izzo with him from Torino. Sampdoria's Omar Colley and Atalanta's Gianluca Mancini are alternative ideas. Roma in battle for Gomes According to Liverpool Echo, Everton's on-loan Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes is attracting Roma's interest. It could take up to £30m to sign him. Nacho unsettled in Madrid Linked with Roma for an eternity, Spain defender Nacho has decided to finally leave Real Madrid in the summer, having fallen further down the pecking order, claim Marca.
