Roma owners give green light for January deals – report

According to Il Corriere della Sera, Roma owners have determined a budget for January transfer moves, which will allow the Giallorossi to sign new players not necessarily through loan or swap deals.

Enthusiasm is through the roof at the Olimpico as Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma have taken the top spot of the Serie A table after Round 12.

According to Corriere della Sera (via Vocegiallorossa), club owners have further boosted the Giallorossi’s title dreams by determining a budget for possible deals in the winter transfer window.

It is believed that the Giallorossi will chase a centre-forward in January, with Joshua Zirkzee already approved by Gasp as the top target up front, as Football Italia reported last week.

Corriere della Sera further reports that Roma will still have to move within the Financial Fair Play rules, but the Friedkins’ decision means that club director, Frederic Massara, will have more freedom in negotiations and won’t necessarily need to operate only through swap deals or loan transfers.
