Roma Exec Lifts Lid on Attempt to Acquire Frattesi

Roma made a robust attempt for Davide Frattesi in January, and their interest won’t go away, as director Florent Ghisolfi told Corriere della Sera. He dished on their MO in January first.

“We don’t want just a young team but a mix with experience.”

The Giallorossi are seeking a new coach.

“The desire to come here and consider this team the top choice is the first thing we’re looking for. Some gaffers are out of contract, others aren’t, with different level of interest in us. I don’t like to talk about our next hire out of respect for Claudio Ranieri. He guided up past the storm. I told him he could solve every problem in two months after the Milan game.”

Ghisolfi addressed what went down in the past window.

“Lorenzo Lucca was never an option since we wanted a deputy for Artem Dovbyk and not a starter. We’ve worked on the Frattesi deal with him, his agent, and Inter. We were close. We’ll see whether his transfer will be more attainable in four months. Or we’ll pursue a midfielder with the same qualities.”

Roma want to hold onto their linchpins.

“Our goal is to find sustainable certainties to add to those we already have like Manu Koné, Paulo Dybala, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N’Dicka, and Mile Svilar. Leandro Paredes is important on the pitch and in the locker room. We’re discussing a one-year renewal with him.” “We don’t ask for time, because there isn’t in football. Roma must bring pride and joy to the fans. It hasn’t happened a lot this season. We’re in the third year of our settlement agreement with UEFA, the stingiest one. We lowered the payroll as prescribed.”
