Roma, Ranieri asked management for deputy Dovbyk: the coach is facing a problem
Roma, Ranieri vuole il vice Dovbyk: ma c’è un problema di non poco conto – Serieanews
Ninth place in the standings with 30 points, six lengths from the sixth place, the last to give qualification for the European cups while the fourth position is even nine lengths away. Roma’s championship so far has certainly not been memorable, far from it. The season started in the worst way, with De Rossi exonerated after a few matches and in November Juric’s departure also arrived.
Three coaches in three months, but it is with Claudio Ranieri – recalled to the team’s bedside – that Roma seems to be turning around. The ranking is still deficient, of course, but until a few weeks ago even there was the specter of relegation really very much alive, with the environment beginning to fear the worst.
All of this, moreover, after a market of major investments made by the Friedkins: the zero-parameter hits of Hummels and Hermoso to reinforce the defense, Abdulhamid from Al-Hilal for the flanks, 23 million for Le Fée in the midfield, the 25 for Soulé and the nearly 40 for Dovbyk, for a total of nearly 100 million spent.
Vice Dovbyk: Ranieri ha un preferito, ecco chi è
Roma is now on a good run of form: fresh off two consecutive wins, three in the last four, Ranieri has asked the management for reinforcements this winter session. From Ajax has already arrived Rensch, a right-back who also made his debut in Udine in the last round.

However, the coach has asked for a deputy Dovbyk: a structured center forward who can replace the Ukrainian bomber when needed. The favorite – Ranieri has admitted it in no uncertain terms – is Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca. A name that would make the coach happy but destined to remain a dream.
The reason? The amount of money allocated by the Friedkins for the attacking coup. Just 15 million euros, definitely insufficient to get to the Friulani’s center forward. The operation, in fact, would be much more onerous between the cost of the card and the salary. And for the same reason, the road leading to Amsterdam, where Brian Brobbey is in an Ajax jersey, also becomes an unfeasible one.
A big problem because Rennes’ Kalimuendo does not fully convince the coach, as does Beto, stationed at Everton. The Shpendi route could be tried but Cesena would be reluctant to give him up a week before the market closes. Sevilla’s Isaac Romero is a name popping up in Spain but the 30 million clause holds everything back.
Roma, non solo attacco: via Hermoso, serve anche un difensore
A blow in attack, then, but also one in defense. Hermoso is in fact on his way out, destined for Bayer Leverkusen: the former Atletico Madrid player did not fit in at Roma and asked for a transfer after only six months. That is why in the Giallorossi there is a need for a central player who can give respite to the three currently in the squad, N’Dicka, Hummels and Mancini.

Ranieri, in fact, would not want to remain with only three centerbacks even if Rensch and Celik (the latter on his way out) can adapt to the role; a situation, this of the adapted player, that does not fully satisfy the coach. The names being evaluated are those of 2002 Argentine Marco Di Cesare, under Racing Club, and Mika Marmol of Las Palmas.
