Roma see Sassuolo star as potential Zaniolo replacement

Serie A giants Roma see Sassuoloโ€™s Giacomo Raspadori as a potential replacement for Nicolo Zaniolo, if the Italian departs in the summer.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported today that Raspadori is now a Roma target for the summer and heโ€™s now on the Giallorossiโ€™s shortlist. That is because the club feel that he is more suited to Jose Mourinhoโ€™s playing style than Zaniolo, who is said to be struggling to fit into the managerโ€™s playing style and formation.

There is a feeling that Raspadori could play beside Tammy Abraham in a 3-5-2 and could play in the number ten spot in the 4-2-3-1 role.

Many clubs like Raspadori but Romaโ€™s good relations with Sassuolo could give them a big advantage over others, especially since he is valued at around โ‚ฌ30 million by Sassuolo. Some youngsters at Roma could even be included in the deal.
