A Roma that is preparing to change its skin, under the leadership of a coach who does not accept compromises. Three symbolic names ready to say goodbye, paving the way for a new course. The wind of change is blowing hard in Trigoria.

Gian Piero Gasperini is about to take over Roma, after a long courtship that culminated in a definitive yes, even rejecting Juve. The Giallorossi project intrigues Gasp a lot, from the first moment the parties started to hear each other, and we are talking about almost a year ago.
Now, however, is the time to get a grip, make it official and already start planning what will be the future. One thing is certain, Gasperini has a particular character, and we all know it, and he has several demands that he has already expressed to the Giallorossi management. One of them is the need to have an almost complete roster available as early as July, when there will be a retreat. If not, you will see, he will immediately make himself heard.
The other unavoidable need is to build a team in his image and likeness, of players ready to follow him and become his soldiers to replicate what the Piedmontese coach created almost from nothing at Atalanta. Here in Rome there is already a base to start from and it is certainly a very good base, but we need to start with the players that Gasperini will surely not want in his squad.
The Piedmontese coach already has rather clear ideas about the Roma squad, which he had already studied before saying yes to the Friedkins. Among those who will have to leave are three players who were key until this year and instead, under the new management, could be waved goodbye and sold to the highest bidder.

Among the big names destined to leave, one of them is already virtually a former Giallorossi. We are talking about Leandro Paredes, who already in January was supposed to leave destination Boca Juniors and thus return to his native Argentina. The farewell was only postponed, so much so that it is now practically certain that Paredes will leave the team. But Gasperini would not have confirmed him anyway, because he is not a footballer who adapts to pressure, to his characteristics. Midfielders with different characteristics will be sought.

Among those who are likely to remain, to be evaluated is the position of Bryan Cristante, whom Gasperini has already coached and greatly enhanced in his first management in Bergamo, and who could be part of the roster, as well as Gianluca Mancini, another player whom Gasp knows very well.
The second player destined to say goodbye is undoubtedly Paulo Dybala. Injuries aside, Dybala is definitely not in the cards for the former Atalanta coach, who does not care much for him and therefore will endorse a farewell that actually seems already written. It only needs to be understood where, but we will find out as the weeks go by.
The third name is the most uncomfortable one of all. We are talking about Lorenzo Pellegrini. A Giallorossi captain who, given his status, has stumbled into a deeply negative situation and, in all likelihood, will say goodbye to the team of his heart this summer to seek a new adventure. Regardless of what his will is, it would surely also be the will of Gasperini, who does not consider him ideal for his technical-tactical project.
Paredes, Dybala, Pellegrini. These will be the first goodbyes of a team that will go through an era of deep renewal and a small revolution to become in the image of its new coach. And Roma knows it: with Gasp at the helm, there will be few half-measures. Either in or out.
