According to Roman media reports, AS Roma has selected Endrick as a primary forward target for January, with Kittens and other options also on the list.

Gallant has promised Gasperini that he will sign a forward who has been absent for 15 months in January. The Real Madrid youngster is high on the list, but other alternatives are being considered simultaneously.

They have made this promise again, and this time it must be fulfilled to avoid losing an excellent opportunity that has already yielded results on the pitch. The team still wants to be the cherry on top of the cake to celebrate the club's centenary. A forward with a combination of pace, acceleration, physical strength, and goalscoring ability—qualities that Gasperini has sought for 15 months—might finally arrive in January. This is according to John Gallant, who currently oversees Trigoria's operations following Moro's departure. In summary, AS Roma continues to pursue wingers and will restart from the list of players the team attempted to sign during the late summer transfer market, such as Ravelling. After some hesitation, ultimately the deal failed before the deadline, largely due to time constraints. The player's qualities remain intact, but in the first half of this season, the German player was displaced by new signing El-Hanasbeya at Stuttgart. Limited playing time (just 83 minutes in the Bundesliga) may have lowered his asking price below the €35 million requested months ago. A similar situation applies to Kittens, who remains at Chelsea but with a very limited role, having not played a single minute in the Premier League.

AS Roma has funds ready to invest, but the club prefers to strengthen like they did with Malen—meaning an initial loan with a purchase option in June next year. This is why Endrick remains high on the list: Real Madrid might let him go, but after spending €60 million on him, they want an exit clause for themselves. Sports director Damico has been in contact with Roc Nation agency for some time and is not concerned about AC Milan's attempts to intervene. The Brazilian forward has spoken with Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil's national team coach, and told him he has already made a verbal agreement with Gasperini. If Moro was a problem last summer, in January the "Special One" shouldn't insist on keeping him. After all, Moro has given him only 4 minutes of playing time in the first half of this season.

A new name is Quaratskhelia from Frosinone, who has contributed 3 goals and 1 assist in Frosinone's first five Serie A matches. Frosinone president Sterp has received no offers for this "Kvaratskhelia heir"—"just talk," he said—but remains open to serious offers. If an offer reaches €20 million to €25 million, Frosinone will accept. Gasperini already knows how to use him in his attacking system, adding unpredictability, strength, and dynamism to the team. Luis Enrique also possesses these qualities. This Brazilian player's transfer failed in late August due to banking issues related to Russia. With advance planning and documentation ready when the winter transfer window opens, AS Roma can bring him back from Zenit and get ahead of competitors. Both he and Endrick are left-footed, while Quaratskhelia and Ravelling are more right-footed. With Dybala and Solér also left-footed, AS Roma needs another player who can rotate on the opposite flank while strengthening with "back-foot" players.

However, Trigoria's transfer market, though seemingly chaotic with constant tactical shifts—first Greenwood, then Summerville, then Nusa, and finally Castro, very different types of players—still reflects a deeper need: they need stronger players to improve overall quality and competitive ability. Gasperini's theory is: the better the player, the better. He can always find a way to make talented players work together efficiently. For him, this is a genuine "more is better" problem.
