Gian Piero Gasperini is reportedly pushing for Davide Zappacosta as his preferred solution for the wing position, with the Atalanta full-back emerging as a strong candidate for Roma’s upcoming transfer plans.
According to La Repubblica the choice is driven not only by tactical considerations but also by financial sustainability. At 34 years old, Zappacosta represents a more affordable option in the market, with Atalanta expected to consider offers below €10 million.
In recent days, the Italian full-back has reportedly overtaken Dodô in Gasperini’s internal list of targets. Meanwhile, interest in the Fiorentina defender has cooled, making a move for the Brazilian increasingly unlikely.
Roma are now assessing the feasibility of the operation as they continue to shape the squad according to the coach’s requirements, balancing experience, cost efficiency, and immediate tactical impact.
