Fofana waits for Roma, talks with Chelsea for Gittens continue

Roma is working on several fronts in these final hours of the transfer market.

From the Balerdi deal nearing completion, to the suggestion of selling El Aynaoui and snubbing Juventus by bringing Kessié to the capital, to the main objective: strengthening their attack.

D'Amico would like to satisfy Gasperini's request for a right-footed left winger to complete a unit currently bereft of a player capable of bursting through the wing, a true powerhouse.

This is why the situation surrounding Malick Fofana's future needs to be monitored closely.

Lyon was eliminated from the Champions League by Fenerbahçe, a defeat that represents a serious financial loss for the French club, who will now have to make some sales.

As Fabrizio Romano reports, however, Roma had not given the player's agents any indication until late this morning to proceed with the deal.

Malick Fofana is waiting for Roma. The player hopes to wear the Giallorossi jersey, but the club hasn't yet made a strong showing to secure a deal. The 2005-born player is hotly sought after in the Premier League, as well as by Hull City, a prospect unlikely to gain traction. It's up to Roma to make a decision quickly, given they already have an agreement with the player.

Regarding Gittens, the situation is still stalled: Chelsea doesn't want to loan him out. Roma are waiting. The transfer market has been undergoing changes in recent days, so if the Blues were to approve a loan move, everything could change. Gasperini wants the winger, and Roma is trying.
