Not only coach. Roma is also moving on the striker market, with the aim of reinforcing a department that has suffered in terms of continuity and goals this season. The casting has already started: at the top of the list is Lorenzo Lucca, but among the names being followed there is also Emanuel Emegha, a center forward born in 2003 on the strength of Strasbourg.
Lucca, il profilo ideale per l’attacco di Ranieri (o chi verrà)
Coming back from a convincing season with Udinese, Lorenzo Lucca scored 11 goals and 2 assists in Serie A with the bianconeri jersey, attracting the attention of several clubs, including Roma itself. At 2.01 meters tall, a modern striker with good mobility, the class of 2000 represents a profile already ready for our league. Ghisolfi considers him an excellent option both for the present and for future growth.
Emegha, la scommessa fisica dalla Ligue 1
Younger and yet to be discovered is Emanuel Emegha, a Dutch striker with Nigerian citizenship, currently at Strasbourg, a Red Bull Galaxy club. Born in 2003, Emegha is 1.95 tall and combines power, progression and decent technique. In Ligue 1 he finished the season with 14 goals and 3 assists, showing ample room for growth. He already has experience in the Eredivisie and Bundesliga (Sturm Graz, Sparta Rotterdam, Stuttgart) and his profile is of great interest because of his prospects and resalable potential.
Situazione contrattuale e concorrenza
Lucca, linked to Udinese with a contract until 2028, has attracted the interest of several Italian clubs and now has a rather high market value, close to 25 million euros. Similar discourse for Emegha, both in terms of the length of his contract with Strasbourg and the cost of the card: the Dutch center forward of clear Nigerian origins has exceeded a valuation of 20 million euros.
