Roma reports indicate interest in Brighton, Man Utd forwards, midfielders

Roma is actively pursuing several potential signings this summer, focusing on bolstering their attacking and midfield options. They have shown interest in Brighton's forward Evan Ferguson as a backup to Artem Dovbyk, with internal evaluations and direct contacts underway, while also considering a potential offer to Atalanta for the player depending on other transfers. Midfield-wise, Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, a longtime admirer of Brighton's Matt O'Riley, aims to recruit the Danish international to play a traditional number eight or box-to-box role, with negotiations expected despite Brighton's guarded stance. Roma is also interested in a loan deal for Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, valued at around €45 million, as a cost-effective way to strengthen their attack under Gasperini's guidance. The club is navigating UEFA financial fair play constraints but appears ready to pursue these moves, reflecting a desire to improve squad depth and tactical flexibility. However, Brighton faces challenges in retaining key players like O'Riley, whose potential departure could impact their efforts to maintain stability and identity under new leadership.
