Gasperini has identified Marcus Greenwood and Summerville as his priority targets to build an attacking trident around Donyell Malen, with the Friedkin Group needing to commit approximately €80 million to bring both players to Roma. The club is pursuing the English pair as essential reinforcements after a season that exposed deficiencies in attack. Other recruitment moves, including a potential deal for Ruggeri, are on hold while the focus remains on securing these two forwards.
Greenwood, valued at roughly €50 million, remains Gasperini's primary target. Fenerbahçe's withdrawal from the race has cleared the path, though Atlético Madrid could still pose a challenge. Roma has already made contact with Greenwood's father, and while the player has agreed in principle to join, negotiations are expected to be lengthy rather than resolved in a matter of days. Marseille has not yet received a formal offer. Summerville will cost approximately €30 million; West Ham's relegation to the Championship has lowered his asking price from the €40 million demanded in January, but his participation in the World Cup with the Netherlands could drive his valuation upward.
Gasperini has designed the attacking lineup of his dreams, but delivering it requires significant investment from the Friedkins. Other attacking options including Tel, Sauer, and Tzolis remain under consideration, while Paixão has been ruled out after failing to impress the coach. Roma must act decisively to avoid repeating last season's mistakes, exemplified by the Sancho situation.
