Key points
- Roma, the closing strategy for Rodrigo Mora:.
- Roma is changing its transfer strategies, focusing on Porto's Rodrigo Mora as a priority to strengthen the attack, with an innovative payment formula to manage the budget.
- Roma, the formula to close Rodrigo Mora. Cacciamani and Udogie to conclude.
AS Roma is reviewing its transfer strategies following a recent meeting with management in Wales. The name that has now become fundamental for the offensive department is that of Rodrigo Mora, a young talent from Porto, in whom coach Gian Piero Gasperini has expressed a clear interest. The change of direction is evident: the Friedkins, owners of the club, are ready to make significant investments to strengthen the team, but they also intend to keep the wage bill under control. The directive is clear: we will have to look for players whose total annual cost, including depreciation and salaries, does not exceed 10 million euros.
Rodrigo Mora, who attracted Gasperini's attention, has a valuation of around 50 million euros, but Roma are studying a payment formula that would allow the impact on the budget to be diluted. The idea is to offer 25 million immediately, accompanied by a further 50% on future resale, a percentage that the Giallorossi would have the possibility of canceling by paying a further 25 million in a year. However, the issue of the Port's request to include a right of repurchase in the contract remains to be resolved.

Mora is an attacking midfielder, and his positioning on the pitch represents one of the challenges awaiting Gasperini, who imagines using him also as a left winger, in a model similar to the one that made Papu Gomez famous during his experience at Atalanta.
Meanwhile, the prospect for the Brazilian striker Endrick seems to have disappeared: the player, initially in Gasperini's plans, has been taken off the market by Real Madrid. However, Roma continues to explore other options: for the winger role, Alessio Cacciamani remains a welcome name, but the club does not intend to participate in auctions, as Torino has raised the price. D'Amico, the Giallorossi sporting director, is determined not to exceed 15 million, including bonuses. We cannot even rule out a possible interest in Luis Henrique from Inter, who could fit on both flanks.
Finally, Destiny Udogie's situation could become clearer if one of Ziolkowski or Ghilardi decides to leave Trigoria. As the transfer window closes, Roma still have three positions to sort out, and Rodrigo Mora has become the central name around which the final rush will take place. This was reported by Il Messaggero.

What happens now
Roma will now have to face negotiations with Porto, in particular regarding the request for a right of repurchase. If the proposed payment formula, which provides for an initial payment of 25 million and a percentage on future resale, is accepted, Mora could become a new piece in Gasperini's puzzle. The question of the tactical positioning of Mora, who could also be used as a left winger, will be another aspect for the coach to consider.
