AS Roma is preparing for the 2026-2027 season with a mix of optimism and concerns. After the summer transfer window, the club has finalized the signing of Rodrigo Mora, but the lack of a left winger remains a critical issue. Gian Piero Gasperini, in charge for two years, will face the challenge of a league that sees him return to the Champions League after eight years. The CdT crew has analyzed the team's prospects, highlighting both progress and limitations.
Return to Champions League
The return to the Champions League has been a fundamental milestone for Roma, but now the focus shifts to performance. The CdT have expressed confidence in Gasperini's work, who has already shown he can lead the team to significant results. However, the lack of a left winger could influence the team's chances of victory. Players like Wesley and Donyell Malen are considered key to compensating for this gap.
Transfer Market Challenges
The summer transfer window saw Roma face numerous difficulties, with several names slipping away. Rodrigo Mora was the most important signing, but the search for a left winger remained an unknown. The CdT have acknowledged that the club has done a good job in keeping key players like Dybala and Svilar, but the lack of an alternative for the left winger role could limit the team's potential.
The Season Begins Against Fiorentina
The 2026-2027 season will open with a match against Fiorentina, an important test to assess the team's preparation. The CdT have expressed confidence in Gasperini's work but have also highlighted the need for improvement in the transfer market. With Mora and Fofana arriving, Roma could finally start building a competitive team for the long term.
