Roma are preparing a meeting at Trigoria to shape their winter transfer plans, with an attacking winger remaining the priority for Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad.
According to Il Tempo, club officials will meet in the coming days to assess potential additions and decide where to intervene. Roma’s strong league form has not changed the intention to give Gasperini more options for the second half of the season.
D’Amico identifies the missing attacking quality
Speaking before the Sassuolo match, sporting director Tony D’Amico explained the type of player Roma are seeking.
“In terms of characteristics, we are missing a winger with pace who can threaten on the counterattack, so we will certainly look for one to bring that different quality to the squad.”
It is a requirement Gasperini had already identified during the summer. The aim is to add an attacker capable of stretching opponents and carrying the ball forward quickly, giving Roma another way to threaten alongside their existing combinations.
Roma have recently been linked with Jamie Gittens, Jamie Leweling and Giorgi Kvernadze, while contact with Endrick’s representatives has also continued. Those reports outline some of the options being followed, with the forthcoming meeting intended to clarify the club’s approach.
Midfield also under consideration
The discussions will extend to midfield, where Roma will assess whether another addition is needed.
The recent schedule has tested the squad’s depth, particularly during the absences of Manu Koné and Lorenzo Pellegrini. Finding sufficient cover has required Gasperini to lean heavily on the available midfielders and adapt his selections.
The meeting should help determine how to balance that need against the priority of signing an attacking wide player.
Lulli’s emergence changes the wing-back picture
There is less urgency to recruit a wing-back thanks to Emanuele Lulli’s breakthrough.
His progress has given Gasperini another trusted option on the flank, reducing the need to strengthen that position immediately. Roma have also moved to secure his future, with Lulli signing a new five-year contract.
That development allows the club to focus more closely on the qualities still missing from the squad. For D’Amico, the clearest requirement is an attacker who can bring greater pace and a threat on the break.
