Roma target Nahuel Molina and Augustin Giay for right flank
With the official appointment of Gian Piero Gasperini on the Roma bench, the Giallorossi are ready to revolutionize several departments, starting with the flanks.
In fact, Roma are said to be focusing on the right flank above all, to favor Gasperini's preferred 3-4-3 system.

Overall, Roma's full-backs have contributed 25 goals in total over the last five seasons, a modest haul when compared to the numbers of the teams coached by Gasperini: in the same period, his Atalanta full-backs have scored 45 goals.
As reported by Il Messaggero, the first name to end up on Roma's notebook is Agustin Giay, an Argentine born in 2004, considered one of the most promising talents in South American football.
A versatile right-back with a past as a centre-back, Giay grew up with the legend of Javier Zanetti and currently plays for Palmeiras.
The price set for his transfer is around 15 million euros.

In addition to Roma, Napoli and Benfica are also interested in him.
However, the club does not seem willing to negotiate before the Club World Cup.
In addition to Giay, Nahuel Molina also remains in the background: Atlético Madrid, however, start with a valuation of at least 30 million.

Milan run into problems for Vlahovic, Rabiot and Zinchenko
Milan are trying to give Max Allegri reinforcements, but Adrien Rabiot wants to stay at Olympique Marseille, while Dusan Vlahovic and Oleksandr Zinchenko salaries are a problem. The coach has taken a year off after the tempestuous end to his Juve experience and is back on the bench next season at San Siro. Milan targets too costly epa11726450 France's midfielder Adrien Rabiot (C) celebrates after scoring the opening goal during the UEFA Nations League soccer match between Italy and France at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milan, Italy, 17 November 2024. EPA-EFE/DANIEL DAL ZENNARO According to Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio, Allegri wants to reunite with Rabiot, but that will be practically impossible. Advertisement This is because Olympique Marseille do not want to sell, but the player also is comfortable at his current club and has no real intention of leaving already. When it comes to the strikers, Vlahovic remains the first choice, though here too there are bound to be some major problems. That is caused by his salary, which is also the main reason why Juventus are trying to sell this summer rather than renew the contract that expires in June 2026. An alternative to Vlahovic for that role would be Atalanta hitman and Serie A Capocannoniere Mateo Retegui.

However, here too the wages he is currently earning at Arsenal are considered outlandish for the Rossoneri, who failed to qualify for Europe and therefore took a hit to their revenue.
