Having allowed Alessandro Florenzi to leave for pastures anew in Spain, Roma could do with a new right-back before the end of the transfer window.
It’s not the most urgent of matters as they have both Davide Santon and Leonardo Spinazzola who can play there, as well as Bruno Peres.
On top of that, Davide Zappacosta is expected to return from his knee injury in the coming months, but there’s still belief a move could be made before the deadline, which is where Fulham’s Cyrus Christie comes in.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 27-year-old’s name is one of a few on Gianluca Petrachi’s list of potential targets before the end of the window.
The fee to convince Fulham is said to be around €3-4m, which isn’t the biggest expense, even if Roma won’t want to overspend for the role.It’s not definite, as Hellas Verona’s Davide Faraoni is also an option, but there remains a chance Christie could leave Craven Cottage before the end of the day.
