Chelsea are considering letting Jamie Gittens leave on loan in January, potentially opening a route for Roma to revisit their interest in the English winger.
According to Football Insider, the Giallorossi are among his possible destinations. Roma had already followed Gittens during the summer, and the prospect of a temporary deal could make another approach more feasible.
A loan would allow Roma to strengthen their attack without committing immediately to a permanent transfer. Chelsea’s reported willingness to consider that arrangement is therefore a development worth watching as the winter window approaches.
Gittens fits Roma’s January search
Roma are reportedly prioritising an attacking winger in January, with sporting director Tony D’Amico looking to give Gian Piero Gasperini more options out wide.
Gittens had already resurfaced among the players under consideration, with earlier reporting indicating Roma’s preference for a loan. The latest information from England suggests Chelsea could be receptive to that type of move.
The report does not specify the financial terms Chelsea would seek or whether any loan would include an option to buy.
Roma assess several attacking options
Gittens is one of several players linked with the club. Ademola Lookman’s situation at Atletico Madrid is also being monitored, while Real Betis attacker Rodrigo Riquelme has returned to the conversation.
For Gittens, the key question is whether Chelsea’s consideration becomes a firm decision to make him available. If it does, Roma could have the opportunity to pursue a player they have been following since the summer.
