Roma are reportedly turning towards Lecce for reinforcements, looking to strikers Nikola Krstovic and Santiago Pierotti, especially if Artem Dovbyk leaves.

The Giallorossi are trying to transform their squad to suit the tactics of new coach Gian Piero Gasperini, which means a great deal of turnover in the current group.

Dovbyk is believed to be on the market after just one season in Serie A where he struggled to adapt, and the asking price would be around €30m.

According to Calciomercato.it, the primary target to replace him is Krstovic, who has in turn put Roma at the top of his own personal wish list.

The Montenegro international scored 11 goals with five assists in 37 Serie A appearances for Lecce last season and would cost circa €25m.

He has also been linked with Atalanta and Leeds United, but would prefer to come to the Stadio Olimpico.

Sky Sport Italia point out that Roma are also targeting another Lecce player, namely Pierotti.

The Argentine only arrived in January 2024 and found the net four times with two assists in 36 Serie A games last season.

The versatile 24-year-old can play in a variety of attacking roles, mainly down the right wing.
