Roma’s winter transfer window is treading a delicate balance between necessity and constraints.
Among Frederic Massara’s considerations is the future of Daniele Ghilardi, whose fate appears closely tied to the possibility of adding a new, experienced center-back to Gian Piero Gasperini’s roster.
Management is considering loaning the young defender out to free up a spot in the squad, but his contractual situation presents a significant obstacle.
As reported in today’s edition of Il Messaggero, the defender, who arrived in the summer from Hellas Verona, is not yet the exclusive property of the Giallorossi.
The obligation to buy will only kick in once Roma earns their first point in February 2026. This time clause prevents the club from freely disposing of the player for immediate temporary release.
If Torino, who have already thoroughly explored the matter, wanted to make a move, Roma would be faced with a choice: either pay the €10.5 million buyout fee upfront or start negotiations with Verona so that the Veronese club could hand the player over to the Granata.
This stalemate over Ghilardi is also affecting transfers. Gasperini has expressed his desire for a top-tier international signing to tackle the second half of the season.
While Amenda has been ruled out, options for Chelsea’s Disasi and Tottenham’s Dragusin remain. No concrete progress has been made so far due to the transfer options and high salary demands.
