According to Italian media outlet ForzaRoma.it.
Rome, capital of Italy
The club are interested in bringing in Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe
Matta (name)
and Everton striker
Beto
to strengthen the team's forward line. With the possible departure of Abraham, Roma are looking for a replacement for Romelu Lukaku and studying possible transfer opportunities in the near future.
After Roma's previous plan to bring in Enesri fell through, as well as the difficulty of signing Solot for 30 million euros, the team has begun to evaluate other potential targets. Roma's sporting director, Ghisolfi, is working on a reinforcement strategy for the team to fulfill manager De Rossi's need for a physically strong striker who specializes in teamwork and earns less than 4 million euros a year.
Among the current list of reinforcements, Crystal Palace's Mata and Everton's Beto have caught Roma's attention. Mata, whose characteristics are similar to Lukaku's, earns around €2.5 million a year and is worth around €20 million. Beto, who played two seasons at Udinese, is an old acquaintance from Serie A, but lacks sufficient playing opportunities at Everton and is now on the sellable list.
On top of that, Roma are also interested in Brugge's Kevin Denki, Wolfsburg's Jonas Wender and Rennes' Kalimundo. All of these players are within the budget of 20 million euros, and the salary is also within Roma's affordability. Roma have made it clear that they are no longer considering the return of Romelu Lukaku, and that their future goal is to raise the price of players through reinforcements, while lowering the payroll.
Roma fans are looking forward to further moves from the club in the transfer market, hoping that the new recruits will bring more offensive firepower and competitiveness to the team.
