Roma Prioritizes Udogie Transfer Over Cacciamani Amid Squad Reinforcement Push
Roma remains incomplete and has shifted its transfer focus to Tottenham left-back Leonardo Udogie, putting the stalled Cacciamani deal on hold.
Roma is set to begin its campaign on August 24 versus Fabio Grosso's Fiorentina, yet the squad is still considered incomplete after adding Koulierakis, Castro and Molina. Sports director Tony D'Amico has warned that further reinforcements are required, noting that Wesley, Rensch and Molina alone are insufficient. The club's attempt to sign defender Cacciamani has become more problematic, leading Roma to give priority to Tottenham left-back Leonardo Udogie.
Udogie, once viewed as untouchable, is now reportedly open to negotiations, although Tottenham has ruled out any loan arrangement. The Giallorossi hope the acquisition will shore up a key defensive position before a demanding season unfolds.
Why it matters
Signing Udogie could address a defensive weakness for Roma as they head into a tough Serie A season.
