Roma’s hunt for Malen’s replacement is hitting some serious walls, and the dream of a new striker bringing goals, intensity, and consistency for Gasperini just got a lot more complicated. Santiago Castro remains a concrete target, but getting him to the Giallorossi club is proving to be far from simple.
Tresoldi’s €50 Million Roadblock
For weeks, Tresoldi was the name everyone was buzzing about. He was at the top of the list for Roma, but Club Brugge isn’t messing around. Their demands for Tresoldi sit around a hefty €50 million, and that kind of price tag has completely stalled negotiations. D’Amico is definitely looking at other options now, as you’d expect.
Bologna’s Firm €40 Million Stance
That’s where Santiago Castro comes in as the hottest lead right now. Contacts between Roma and Bologna are still ongoing, with Roma pushing to understand the margins of a deal. But here’s the kicker: Bologna is starting with a valuation of around €40 million, and they look absolutely unwilling to budge or cut corners on that price. Don’t even think about Dovbyk, by the way. He’s on the market, sure, but he’s not being included in any potential deal with Bologna. So, what’s Roma going to do? It’s crunch time.
