Roma Align on January Plan, Intensify Raspadori Pursuit After Trigoria Summit

Overview

• Ryan Friedkin and Claudio Ranieri met Gian Piero Gasperini at Trigoria, with Dan Friedkin participating remotely, in a calm, constructive session focused on winter moves.
• Gasperini pressed for immediate reinforcements and, per La Gazzetta dello Sport, requested Giacomo Raspadori, Joshua Zirkzee, a winger and a midfielder, with defense a lower priority.
• Sporting director Frederic Massara skipped the summit to work in Milan, holding a face-to-face meeting with Raspadori’s agents after weeks of phone contact.
• Sources describe a slightly more optimistic tone around negotiations but confirm no agreement as Roma assess viable January structures within financial constraints.
• Ranieri helped mediate coordination with Massara, and the club aims to accelerate decisions in the coming days to meet the coach’s timeline.
