According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AS Roma will hold transfer meetings at Trigoria, and sporting director Florent Ghisolfi is seeking final reinforcements as requested by coach Ivan Juric.

Reinforcing AS Roma's left wing continues to progress, but time is running out. The club has just 5 days to complete two signings and strengthen the attack as they aim to challenge Inter in the coming league matches. Juric is waiting, but not passively—he has pressed management today, hoping the club will double its efforts. AS Roma faces a demanding Champions League fixture next and needs to act quickly.

Limited options

AS Roma will meet at Trigoria today to confirm remaining budget to meet Juric's demands and reinforce the wing positions. Currently, especially in attack, the team has very few available players. After Ventrino, El Shaarawy, and Zaragoza departed, Morata functions more as a striker than a winger. Pellegrini is a utility player—theoretically just a backup—and Soler is accustomed to playing on the opposite flank, so deploying him on the left would diminish his strengths.

Like with Dybala, Juric wants a winger capable of attacking the defensive line—essentially a Leão-type player, similar to what he had at Atalanta. For the left-back position, Juric has four options: Wesley, Molina, Rensch, and Luli. Though this Roma academy product is highly favored by the coach, given his fitness concerns and Roma's demanding fixture list ahead, he was initially considered only a fifth-choice option.

Jamal Musiala leads the race

Two prominent candidates are being tracked for the wing: Malik Fofana and Jamal Musiala. D'Amico's list also includes a third name that has not been widely disclosed. The Belgian player is valued slightly above €30 million. AS Roma is well aware of this, having reached an agreement before August 15, even before Rodrigo Morata's arrival. The Portuguese forward's signing compressed the budget and prompted the Friedkin family to temporarily suspend negotiations for Fofana.

Given the financial fair play complications this deal would create, talks have not resumed. Now Hull City is also tracking the Olympique Lyon winger. However, the English club may assist AS Roma in another deal. Today, AS Roma is expected to finalize the loan of Robinho Vaz with a fee and purchase option. This will free up space for Roma and give D'Amico greater liquidity to pursue other loans.

With this, Jamal Musiala has returned to the forefront and is more satisfying than Fofana both technically and physically. So why hasn't it been concluded? Chelsea wants to include a mandatory purchase clause for the English player, and Musiala was formerly Donyell Malen's teammate at Dortmund. Contact resumed yesterday, and negotiations will continue today, with efforts to accelerate the deal given the strong relationship between the two clubs.

Wing reinforcements

Meanwhile, AS Roma's sporting director still needs to find a replacement for Oosterwolde. The Dutch left-back was returned to Fenerbahçe due to serious fitness concerns, and with the Turkish side refusing to renegotiate terms, D'Amico does not necessarily need another left-back since Juric typically rotates both full-backs the way he did with Wesley.

The range of options has therefore widened, but time is running out fast. AS Roma previously favored Luis Enrique, but Inter Milan has never considered a pure loan option. The same applies to Tottenham's Udogie. Salah-Eddine turned down Olympiacos, and if he departs, Roma's task becomes easier. The club is primarily seeking reinforcements among backup players in the Premier League.
