Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico spoke ahead of the first match of the new season.
A few minutes before kick-off to Roma-Fiorentina, the Italian executive reviewed Roma’s transfer window so far.
“This is the first time I’ve spoken as a Roma manager, and it’s the first time as a Roma manager in this stadium. A stadium that excites even as an opponent. Today, the emotion is even greater. There’s a passion that carries you away.”
“We spent three fantastic years with the coach, full of excitement and important results at Atalanta.”
“He helped me a lot with my integration; I took over on June 20th, right in the middle of the transfer window. Knowing his method and his vision of football made things easier for me.”
“We’re keeping a close eye on the transfer market; there’s only a week left. The FFP settlement agreement with UEFA is well known, and we have certain restrictions to meet that sometimes force us to change our objectives and revise our strategies.”
“From now until the end, if opportunities arise, we’ll need to expand our squad for the competitions we’ll be facing, such as the league and the Champions League, to have a competitive team. We’ll evaluate the situation between now and the end of the transfer window.”
“Outgoing transfers? I think it’s difficult to imagine them with just a week to go.”
