Injuries to Wijnaldum and Zaniolo forced Roma to sign

Rome still has things to say about this market and the injuries in the last days of Georginio Wijnaldum Y Nicolo Zaniolo -especially the Dutchman, whose presence in the World Cup is in danger-, rushes to the capital club to make a move. In fact, Mourinho admitted after the victory against Cremonese (1-0) that they will go for a midfielder and a forward and the general manager of Roma, Tiago Pinto, confirmed that a replacement for Wijnaldum will be sought. Finding a replacement for Zaniolo is not so urgent, as the Italian will be out for more than a month due to a shoulder dislocation suffered yesterday.

Who seems closer to ‘giallarossi’ is Andrea Bellotti. Free after the contract with him Turin, one of the most regular scorers in Serie A in recent years, has been linked to Roma during the summer and, in fact, his name has appeared again in recent times. ‘Mou’ praised the striker’s interest that came ahead of the Cremonese match and ‘Corriere dello Sport’ confirmed that Belotti could go to Roma this week itself.

From here, there are several names associated with the capital team. From Italy they teach Florian Grillitsch as a possible replacement for Wijnaldum after ending his contract with Hoffenheim and in recent times other players have also appeared on Roma’s radar such as Leandro Paredes (PSG), Radja Nainggolan (Royal Antwerp), David Frattesi (Sassuolo) and Denis Zakaria (Youth).

They all have valid contracts and, in the case of Nainggolan and Paredes, they can live out their contracts second stage in Rome if his signing goes through. Nainggolan was Romanista between 2013 and 1018 and, the Argentine midfielder, the 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 seasons.
