Roma set price for Koné as top clubs circle

Roma sent scouts to the Porto versus PSV match at the Estádio do Dragão while Gian Piero Gasperini's side beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening, according to Sport Witness, as the winter transfer window approaches. PSV won the match 1-0, and it drew interest from several Premier League clubs, including Everton. Everton are following Esmir Bajraktarević, a left-sided winger born in 2005 who is owned by PSV. It is not clear what the main purpose of the Roma mission was, but Sven Mijnans, an attacking midfielder born in 2000 whom Roma had already been tracking in the summer, is certainly among the profiles on the club's list, alongside Bajraktarević himself. The report comes as Roma look to strengthen the squad available to Gasperini ahead of the January window.

Roma scouts were among those watching Porto against PSV Eindhoven at the Estádio do Dragão in the Champions League, as the club keeps working ahead of the January transfer window to strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini's squad. Sporting director D'Amico is looking for talent to complete the attack and the wide areas, where a left-sided midfield winger is still missing. Scouts from Everton, Manchester United, Brentford and Nottingham Forest were also present, according to English outlet Sport Witness. Many talents featured for PSV as well as for Porto, who are coached by Farioli. Among the possible targets Roma are monitoring is Sven Mijnans, an attacking midfielder born in 2000 who had already been followed in the summer. Also on the list is Bajraktarević, a Bosnian left-sided winger born in 2005. Roma will keep working on these ideas in the coming weeks, as a side that has made a top start still needs reinforcements. Porto's young standouts also drew attention. Oscar Pietuszewski, a right-footed winger born in 2008, is very young. Alberto Costa, a 23-year-old full-back, was close to joining Roma in January 2025.

Roma are preparing to return to the transfer market in January, with the club's offensive shortage thrown into sharp relief by recent setbacks. Sporting director Tony D'Amico had already signalled new signings in the winter window, with the aim of strengthening the attacking department above all. The injuries to Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini, combined with a squad that remains numerically thin in the attacking areas, have made the need to act more pressing. The names still being linked are those that circulated during the summer market: Jamie Gittens of Chelsea and Jamie Leweling of Stuttgart. Both players continue to be linked with Roma ahead of January and are struggling to win playing time at their respective clubs. Attention is focusing in particular on an attacker capable of playing wide. Gasperini can count on Donyell Malen and Santiago Castro as his central options, but the latest injuries have further reduced the alternatives on the flanks. Rodrigo Mora, the only summer addition in the Roma attacking midfield, needs time to develop. Gasperini is nevertheless asking for reinforcements. The schedule and physical setbacks have shown how fine the margin becomes when several players from the same department are unavailable at once. January could therefore become an important window for completing the squad: not necessarily a revolution, but an attacking addition capable of adding quality and increasing rotation options for Gasperini.
