Roma are monitoring Giorgi Kvernadze, the Frosinone winger who has emerged as one of Serie A's early-season standouts. The Georgian left-sided forward, born in 2003, has scored 3 goals in the league and 2 in the Coppa Italia, adding 2 assists. Frosinone have impressed under their manager Alvini, including a win over Como, with Kvernadze among several individuals driving the collective display alongside teammates Raimondo and Calò.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Roma's interest is shared by Fiorentina and notably Napoli. The parallels with Matías Soulé are evident—Soulé arrived at Frosinone before moving to a major club, and Kvernadze could follow a similar trajectory. There is also hope he might help Frosinone avoid the relegation that befell them three years ago.
Konur also reported Roma's interest in Pepe of Porto, though the left-back is also being tracked by Palmeiras, Flamengo, and two Saudi clubs. Meetings have taken place between Porto and the player's agents, but no concrete offer has emerged. Pepe has reportedly decided not to push for a transfer at this stage.

Kvernadze, who was born on 7 February 2003 in Samtredia, Georgia, joined Frosinone in 2023 initially on loan before the club exercised their purchase option in summer 2024. He is contracted until 2028.

“In questo primo scorcio di campionato a stupire e incantare la Serie A, oltre la Roma, c'è stato sicuramente il Frosinone. La squadra di Alvini gioca un ottimo calcio, ha battuto il Como di Fabregas, trascinato dal collettivo ma anche da alcune individualità che stanno spiccando. Oltre a Raimondo e…”

Roma sporting director D'Amico has confirmed that signing an attacking winger with real pace is the club's priority as the January transfer window approaches. Speaking to Sky Sport, he said: "This is the problem we realised at the end of the market."
Roma are looking to bring in at least one new signing in January, with Gian Piero Gasperini seeking an attacking winger, and Gittens is the name consistently linked to the position. Fabrizio Romano reports that the Englishman is currently the front-runner, although he is presently injured. Chelsea did not open the door to a loan last summer, but the London club could be willing to consider a temporary transfer in January. The club's sporting director D'Amico addressed the market before the Roma-Sassuolo match, making clear the squad's needs. Roma are looking to add a winger with pace on the break to the squad. D'Amico said: "Ci manca un esterno di gamba, di ripartenza. Cercheremo di farlo a gennaio valutando le opportunità. Cercheremo di dare queste caratteristiche al mister." In English: "We are missing a winger with legs, one who can counter-attack. We will try to do it in January, evaluating the opportunities. We will try to give these characteristics to the coach."
Tony D'Amico has said Roma need a winger with pace and counter-attacking quality, and the club will try to sign one in January. Speaking to SkySport before the match against Sassuolo, he said the need became clear at the end of the transfer window. "This is the problem we realised at the end of the transfer window. We lack a winger with pace, for counter-attacks. We will try to get one in January, weighing up the opportunities. We will try to give these qualities to the coach." Asked whether an extra attacking winger would help solve Roma's problem of coming back from behind, D'Amico agreed it was a key issue. He also addressed the club's dealings with national teams over Manu Koné, saying Roma talk to all national teams. Koné returns today after a good week of training, and the coach has decided to play him, which D'Amico said pleased the club. This is the ninth match in 28 days, and with Koné in the side, the club can rest others who have played a lot in these games. On the atmosphere in Manchester, D'Amico said: "You know environments like Manchester's. The stadium pushed hard, but I think it was there, and against Real, that they showed us a great Roma imposing its game. Against these teams there are moments of difficulty. The penalty, I think, was more than generous. It was a difficult moment, but that does not mean a penalty like that should be given. These experiences are still important for a Roma that, after seven years, is back in the Champions League. It serves all of us, including the club."
