Roma is preparing for the match against Spalletti’s Juventus, but in the meantime, the Giallorossi club continues to work on the transfer market to accommodate Gasperini’s demands.

Although the match against the Bianconeri is crucial for the race for fourth place, the atmosphere at Trigoria remains calm, as evidenced by a playful exchange between Gasperini and Massara.

As Il Messaggero reports, yesterday, during the traditional Christmas toast with journalists following the coach’s press conference, sporting director Massara joked with Gian Piero Gasperini and Claudio Ranieri.

“There are presents under the tree,” Massara said, but Gasperini replied with a smile: “I still don’t see anything.”

Ranieri, always ready to intervene, recalled a comment he made in September, where he highlighted the difficulties in the January transfer window, jokingly asking: “Have you forgotten everything already?”

Despite the joke, the January transfer window remains a hot topic. Roma’s main targets to strengthen their attack are Joshua Zirkzee and Giovanni Raspadori. Massara is preparing a double signing, but for it to materialize, there are some conditions to meet.
