Roma governors Dan and Ryan Friedkin considered the stumble against Como unacceptable. While they believe they have found the right guy on the bench and will continue to back him, they are ready to intervene heavily on the squad in January, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.
The patrons are particularly irate with those who have been at the club for a long time. They’d like to bring in a breath of fresh air and change the mentality. Every option is on the table. A lot of players are expendable.
Roma will be open to listening to the offers for stalwarts like Bryan Cristante, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Gianluca Mancini, but also Stephan El Shaarawy, Leandro Paredes, and Paulo Dybala, who aren’t under contract long-term. Moreover, they could part ways with those who are underperforming or not starring regularly like Mario Hermoso, Nicola Zalewski, Enzo Le Fée, Zeki Celik, Tommaso Baldanzi, and Eldor Shomurodov.
Still, it won’t be easy to find new landing spots for them since most have considerable wages.
It was a pretty baffling slip-up as they had seemingly turned the corner and the fact that the Lariani had looked overmatched in previous matches. Still, it’s hard to find continuity with some many changes. The versatility of a lot of their men can be a double-edged sword if it leads to constant tweaks that don’t allow to build the right mechanisms. Ranieri has to settle on an XI and let it marinate. Another overhaul would set them back in that respect.
