It is not just a match, it is a crossroads of money, ambition and planning. Torino v Roma, the last act of the season, is worth much more than the classic three points. As La Gazzetta dello Sport points out, the goal remains one: the Champions League. Claudio Ranieri is not satisfied and wants to close the circle by hitting the mark. But even in the event of non-qualification, the Europa minor would still guarantee a continental landing and a less demanding scenario in terms of investment.
Roma’s European fate will weigh enormously on the upcoming market. With the Champions League, Trigoria would keep its prized pieces – starting with Ndicka, valued at around 35 million and courted in the Premier – and would have the resources to place at least two big shots: in their sights are Udinese’s Lorenzo Lucca and Strasbourg’s Emegha. And watch out for the name that always makes fans’ hearts flutter: Davide Frattesi, a target already touched in January.
The idea is to build a larger and more competitive “instant team,” capable of holding up the pace of the season’s many matches and contingencies. The technical project will restart from pillars such as Svilar, Koné and Soulé, not forgetting the return to full form of the injured Dybala and Pellegrini. The future is now. But it all passes from Sunday.
