Roma, after Derby win space to market: Ranieri says goodbye to first big man
Last Sunday, Roma rewrote its script with a victory that smacks of a revival. The 2-0 win in the Derby against Lazio, with goals from Pellegrini and Saelemaekers, gave Ranieri’s team a breath of fresh air.

A success that not only ignited the fans’ enthusiasm but also sent a clear signal that Roma, after an up-and-down start, finally seems to be on the right track. With coach Sir Claudio in charge, the team is moving up the standings, showing signs of a more balanced and concrete game.
But behind the satisfaction for the Derby, there is also another front that the Giallorossi management is called upon to deal with: the market. Indeed, Ranieri expects movements on the disposals and purchases front to further strengthen the squad and make the team more competitive. If the fans are enjoying the moment, the club is wasting no time and already the day after the Derby set to work to define the first disposal.
Roma, la prima cessione: addio al grande flop estivo
Just like that, as Roma celebrates its triumph in the Derby, news arrives regarding one of the most talked-about new signings of the summer: Le Fée. The French midfielder, who arrived in the summer for a hefty sum – 23 million euros – already seems ready to leave the capital.

His experience so far has been far from what everyone expected. Little used by Ranieri, Le Fée ended up on the fringes of the team quickly, almost always remaining on the bench. The initial enthusiasm for his purchase turned into a rapid decline, so much so that Roma is now finalizing the details of a loan with right of redemption to Sunderland.
A return to the past for the midfielder, who would thus find Regis Le Bris, his former coach at Lorient, and the chance to relaunch himself in a new adventure in England. Although Lille has also shown interest, the negotiation with the English club appears the closest to a white smoke. This represents the first significant outgoing move for Roma, which is preparing to make room for new graft in the middle of the field.
Frattesi e altri obiettivi: la Roma è attiva sul mercato
With the departure of Le Fée, Roma finds itself looking for a replacement in the middle of the field. Frattesi has long been on the Giallorossi wish list, but for January the dream seems destined to remain so. The Inter midfielder is very much liked, but the Nerazzurri have no intention of giving him up unless a decidedly high offer is made.

The valuation for the talented young Italian is around 45 million euros, a figure that is unlikely to be lowered. Moreover, Frattesi is not happy with his limited employment at Inter, and a return to Rome, while possible, seems to be postponed until June.
Meanwhile, more names are popping up in the notebook of Ghisolfi, Roma’s sporting director. With the synergy with Everton, there could come Doucouré, a French midfielder whose contract expires in 2025, a move that could prove advantageous for Roma if the player decides not to renew with the English club.
There is also Reitz of Borussia Mönchengladbach, who knows Manu Koné, another Giallorossi target, well. In Italy, on the other hand, the name of Prati stands out, a talented youngster already under De Rossi’s wing and who could make the jump to the first team, given also his excellent credentials with Ranieri.
Finally, the last idea concerns Bondo, a young midfielder from Monza, who has impressed with his versatility and could be an interesting addition for the Giallorossi coach.
Roma in evoluzione: obiettivo Europa
Ranieri’s Roma is going through a phase of renewal, and the victory in the Derby provided the morale boost to continue climbing up the standings. But the market, now more than ever, is the ground on which the team can make a difference.
While the sale of Le Fée might seem like a disappointment, it could free up resources to strengthen a department that, in terms of quality and quantity, needs improvement. And with the arrival of new faces, who knows that Roma may not finally find the right balance to aim for the upper echelons of Serie A to perhaps gain Cup qualification.
The market has just begun, but movements at Roma could accelerate in the coming days. It will be interesting to see how the team will be strengthened and whether disposals, such as that of Le Fée, will lead to new arrivals who can make a difference on the pitch. The goal remains clear: to build a solid team, ready to compete both in Italy and in Europe.
