Raspadori gives green light to Roma transfer: possible double deal

Giacomo Raspadori has given the green light to join Roma in January, and Gian Piero Gasperini hopes the Giallorossi will welcome both the Italian striker and Joshua Zikrzee next month.

Roma are working to give Gasperini attacking reinforcements in the winter transfer window and, as already reported on Thursday, the Giallorossi could sign two players up front next month.

Sources with a direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Raspadori has already given the green light to move to the Stadio Olimpico from Atletico Madrid, the club he joined last summer from Napoli.

Now the Giallorossi are due to negotiate with the Colchoneros to bring the first winter reinforcement to the capital, possibly on loan with an option to buy or an obligation tied to certain objectives.

Gasperini hopes that club-to-club negotiations won’t last long, so he’ll soon welcome a new player in attack.

The Roma coach, however, has prioritised the purchase of Manchester United striker Zirkzee, and a double deal in attack can’t be ruled out.
