The question is: How far down his list of targets will he have to go to land a new weapon for Gasperini? With Mason Greenwood heading to Turkey, Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa, and Crysencio Summerville to Saudi Arabia, the three players most closely linked to the Giallorossi have now signed elsewhere.Now, it seems that Roma has zeroed in on Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig as its new main target. However, the price tag being bandied about for Nusa may be even higher than the reported agreed-upon fee Roma had with West Ham for Summerville. And there appears to be competition from Premier League side Newcastle, which may push the reported 55 million minimum negotiating point higher.So, with that in mind, DAmico will have to have be ready to pivot to plan E or F before long. And those appear to be Andreas Schjelderup of Benfica e Said El Mala of Koln. We reported on Schjelderup a couple days ago, but he may be too rich for Romas blood. That leave El Mala as the more likely alternative. El Mala is a 19-year-old winger who is part of the Germany under-21 setup and is coming off a 13-goal and 3-assist campaign for Bundesliga side Kln. Its reported that Borussia Dortmund had an 26 million fixed fee, with 16 million in possible bonuses, offer rejected by Koln. The reason: Kln will only listen to offers of 50 million and up a fee that seems a bit high for a player with a limited track record.But with Roma having difficulty securing more proven profiles at a similar fee, could DAmico pony up the cash just to get fresh talent through the Trigoria doors? Time will tell, but well have to wait for news on the Nusa situation first.
