Frustrated Gasperini cancels interviews as Roma still haven’t signed that attacker

Frustrated Gasperini cancels interviews as Roma still haven’t signed that attacker Roma have not yet been able to sign the attacker that Gian Piero Gasperini has been crying out for for over a year, and reports in Italy claim that the Giallorossi head coach is beginning to become increasingly frustrated and that he recently cancelled an interview with Sky Sport Italia as a result of his anger. Why is Gasperini already becoming frustrated at Roma? Gasperini had been due to speak to Sky from Roma’s training camp in Wales on Thursday night. The journalist had even turned up in the UK the day before, but was met with a ‘polite apology’ from Gasperini, who did not participate. La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that Gasperini’s ‘official’ reasoning for backing out of the interview with Sky was due to a clash of commitments, but suggests that the cancellation was still slightly odd given that the interview had been in everyone’s calendars for several days. Instead, Gasperini was supposedly in a series of meetings with the Roma management to discuss the state of affairs on the transfer market. Gasperini recently claimed that he wanted Roma to bring in around four new players between now and the end of the summer transfer window, and the Giallorossi tactician has made no secret of the fact that he wants a new winger to complete his attacking unit. This has been the case since the previous summer transfer window.

That is before the suggestion that Roma could still part ways with a current first-team star in order to raise the required funds. Tony D’Amico (@ASRoma via X) La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Gasperini has recently clashed with Giallorossi sporting director Tony D’Amico as well, although given their long-standing relationship dating back to their time together at Atalanta, that relationship hasn’t completely broken down at this stage. D’Amico was only appointed as Roma’s sporting director mid-way through June.
