Radio debate on Greenwood: Pruzzo suggests Marseille should keep him

Source: Forza Roma

Several Italian radio commentators debated Roma's transfer strategy and the pursuit of Mason Greenwood. Roberto Pruzzo, speaking on Radio Radio, offered a contrarian view on Greenwood's future, suggesting that Marseille should retain the forward rather than sell. Pruzzo noted: "According to me Marseille would do well to keep Greenwood. I do not rule out that Marseille, which will not play Champions League, could accept staying out of the cups for a year and not dismantle the squad, with the prospect of still being competitive, because the French league is made of teams that aim more at the transfer market in terms of sales. It is necessary to hope that the player has a say: if he decides to leave, then a solution is found."

Matteo De Santis pointed out that both Roma and Marseille must sell players, but suggested Roma could leverage UEFA flexibility if they complete a big sale in early July. Meanwhile, Nando Orsi took a contrarian stance, arguing that Matías Soulé is a strong player suited to Gasperini's system and suggested spending the €50 million on Greenwood elsewhere. Orsi stated: "I would keep him [Soulé], and I would spend the 50 million of Greenwood elsewhere. Now Gasperini commands and he wants Greenwood, but these are the crazy Italian expenses where you insert a player at crazy expenses when you have at home a player that I don't say is equal but you have the certainty of knowing him."

The discussion reflects ongoing debate within Roma's fanbase about the club's ambitious transfer plans under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Le parole di giornalisti ed ex calciatori sulla Roma Redazione 18 giugno - 12:51 Greenwood, il sogno di Gasperini per alzare il livello e vincere subito Quello delle radio romane è un fenomeno che non ha eguali nel resto d'Italia. Una pluralità di stazioni che fungono da piattaforma, una schiera di giornalisti, ex calciatori e opinionisti ad animare lo spettacolo. Ecco le opinioni dei protagonisti delle emittenti radiofoniche: Matteo De Santis (Radio Manà Manà - 90,9): “Il Marsiglia, come la Roma, deve assolutamente vendere. Non cambia però, in maniera radicale, la data entro la quale ufficializzare le uscite da completare. La Roma potrebbe sfruttare l’elasticità della Uefa: qualora i giallorossi dovessero cedere un big i primi di luglio, considerando il fattore Mondiale, l’organo potrebbe comunque accogliere il tentativo chiudendo un occhio“. Roberto Pruzzo (Radio Radio Mattino - 104,5): “Secondo me il Marsiglia farebbe bene a tenersi Greenwood. Io non escludo che il Marsiglia, che non giocherà la Champions, possa accettare di restare fuori dalle coppe con un anno e non smantellare la squadra, con la prospettiva di essere comunque competitivo, perché il campionato francese è fatto di squadre che puntano più al mercato in uscita. Bisogna sperare che il calciatore abbia voce in capitolo: se decide di andare via, allora una soluzione si trova…” Nando Orsi (Radio Radio Mattino - 104,5): “Io vado controcorrente…secondo me Soulé è forte. Io me lo terrei Soulè, che per me è un giocatore forte e adatto al gioco di Gasperini. Io me lo tengo, e i 50 milioni di Greenwood li spendo da un’altra parte. Poi adesso comanda Gasperini e lui vuole Greenwood, però queste sono le spese folli italiane che vai a inserire un giocatore a spese folli quando hai in casa un giocatore che non dico che è uguale ma hai la sicurezza di conoscerlo…” © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura News AS Roma L'incredibile dieta di Malen: "Proteine, vitamine e cibi senza glutine.

Fiorentina open to Dodô departure as Roma pursue right-back

Fabio Paratici, Fiorentina's sporting director, has indicated the club will not block Dodô's exit if the right offer arrives. Speaking to Sky Sport, Paratici acknowledged the player's ambitions while suggesting Fiorentina will evaluate what is best for both parties. Dodô is a target for AS Roma to strengthen their right flank, and his current contract with Fiorentina runs until 30 June 2027. Roma are actively pursuing reinforcements on the flanks under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Wesley will remain on the left side, but the club seeks an established starter for the opposite flank. Dodô fits that profile and is unlikely to renew with Fiorentina, making a summer move plausible. However, Roma must complete player sales by the end of June to meet their settlement agreement obligations before formally pursuing new signings. Paratici stated: "He has legitimate ambitions. If there are requests? I won't go into specifics, but in any case, as I said, he has legitimate ambitions, just as Fiorentina does. We will evaluate what is best for both." No official offers have been tabled yet, though Roma's interest is clear as they reshape their squad for the new season.
