The initial hesitations have given way to clearer awareness. The negotiation, which seemed on the verge of falling apart, is now approaching its conclusion, to the satisfaction of all parties. Andrea Belotti will be a new player for Como: the Giallorossi-owned striker, after a disappointing loan with Fiorentina, moves to the blue and white. 5 million euros will end up in the coffers of the Giallorossi club: every single euro will generate a capital gain, as Gallo arrived in Trigoria two years ago on a free transfer.
Everyone is happy and content: Como will present themselves at the starting line with an experienced number 9, with more than 100 goals in Serie A; the player will enjoy the absolute trust of his new club and of Fabregas, who has identified the former Torino and Palermo player as the ideal offensive terminal of his game; Roma are satisfied and, within a few days of Ghisolfi’s arrival in Trigoria, they place a surplus on the market and guarantee themselves a small treasure ready to be reinvested to bring elements more functional to Daniele De Rossi’s idea of football to the Giallorossi, compared to Belotti who certainly didn’t leave an indelible mark in Rome. Few goals, many regrets for what could have been and wasn’t, especially on the night in Budapest, with that enormous opportunity devoured face to face with Bonou.
The other operations
Ghisolfi is working to sort out the redundancies on the list. The stakes that can guarantee Eldor Shomurodov’s stay in Sardinia remain alive: Cagliari is interested in keeping the Uzbek striker in their squad, but wants different conditions from the agreement signed a year ago. From Leeds comes all the impatience of Diego Llorente, who would like to define his future in the next ten days, intending not to show up for the training camp on July 1st. Roma take him into consideration, but only on loan.
From France, however, they report a concrete interest from Nice in Houssem Aouar: who arrived a year ago in Trigoria, he did not convince and is not in De Rossi’s technical plans. The Algerian is out, developments are awaited.
Finally, Leonardo Spinazzola, who will leave Roma in 8 days, is approaching Conte’s Napoli in small steps: the Umbrian winger is on his way to staying in Serie A.
