Gian Piero Gasperini skirted a question about the transfer market before the clash with Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, but the Giallorossi officials are at work to find a new winger and are monitoring Porto’s William Gomes, Tuttomercatoweb reports.

The two clubs already did business in the summer, devising the transfer of Rodrigo Mora for €25M plus 50 percent of a future sale. The Brazilian speed demon has an €80M release clause at the moment. However, the parties are working to renew his current contract, raising it to €100M and delaying the expiry date by two more years to 2031.

Roma could bring in a patch in January, for instance, Endrick on loan from Real Madrid, and then invest heavily in Gomes or another youngster next summer. He was acquired from Sao Paulo for just €9M in 2025. He has quickly become a staple and registered 16 goals and 4 assists in 67 appearances with his present team.

As for his compatriot who stars at Real Madrid, Alan Redmond, the global head of football of his Roc Nation, talked to AdnKronos .

> “There was a lot of interest in him, but leaving has never been his goal. There was only some chatter. The deals were never close to being completed. We’ll see what happens in the future, but I think he’ll stay at Real Madrid for a long time. The teams after him are fantastic, but I don’t believe he’ll transfer.”

Our Take on Roma and William Gomes

It’s not easy to haggle with Porto, but they seem to have an in. Still, it’s a bit odd that they keep getting attached to left-footed players, as they have two high-level ones already.
