Roma has held several trial sessions with midfilders Jack Rodwell and Marcel Buchel but after deliberating, it appears that the giallorossi will continue to use Gianluca Mancini in the midfield. The coach and the club were ultimately unsatsfied by both free agent prospects, so neither will be offered a contract.
Without an emergency necessitating an addition, the decision seems to be reached, and Petrachi has let it be know that he will not be pursuing the additions. Fonseca, meanwhile has been convinced by Mancini's performances, after injuries to Cristante, Diawara, and Pellegrini have required the defender to fill in. Both Pastore and Veretout have not been allowed to fully return to form despite their availability, as they make up the rest of Roma's midfield players.
