Roma Weigh Free-Agent Options: Zaha, Diatta, and Guerreiro

Atalanta loom on the fixture list, but at Trigoria the transfer market still hums in the background.

Roma ended the summer window without delivering the left-sided reinforcement Gian Piero Gasperini had asked for, and the club are now combing through the pool of free agents. The strategy is tight and deliberate: no panic move, no stopgap, only a signing that genuinely fits the coach’s demands.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, one name ticks plenty of boxes: Wilfried Zaha. The Ivorian forward, who came close to joining Roma back in 2023, is currently unattached after his most recent spell and could arrive on a free. His profile — experience, one‑v‑one ability, and versatility on the flank — keeps him firmly in the conversation.

He is not alone on the list. Krépin Diatta is another candidate. The Senegalese wide player is also without a club following his last season at Monaco and offers pace and direct running, qualities that suit a high‑intensity system.

Then there is Raphael Guerreiro. The 32‑year‑old Portuguese, fresh off a year at Bayern Munich, would bring a different dimension on the left, with his blend of tactical intelligence and technical quality. He, too, is available on a free and stands as a credible solution for the flank.

Roma will not move for all three. They may not move for any of them. But with Atalanta approaching and the squad still missing that one piece on the left, the next decision on the free‑agent market could shape the early stretch of their season.
