AC Roma is finally becoming a financial player in Italy, and there are two reasons for that – better business dealings and more involvement from the owners. Or to be more precise, from one of the owners. Dan Friedkin’s son, Ryan, has recently shown that the American family has decided to entrust him with overseeing AS Roma. In just one week since returning to Rome, Ryan Friedkin presented a new project for the construction of Roma’s stadium with a very ambitious timeline (it should be completed by the end of 2027, the year Roma celebrates its 100th anniversary), met with Rome’s mayor Gualtieri, and more importantly, “brought” fresh 80,000,000 euros for Roma’s signings in this transfer window.Roma’s preparations with no strikersIt was previously mentioned that Ryan was the most passionate about football and Roma within the Friedkin family. This was confirmed this week, as the junior Friedkin, although officially the club’s vice president, has de facto become the leading figure. The money that the younger Friedkin “brought” enabled Roma to finalize the deal with Juventus for Soulé and to launch an attack on Dovbyk from Girona. The Romans took advantage of Atlético Madrid’s hesitation in negotiations with the Ukrainian and the Catalan club, putting 32,000,000 plus bonuses on the table to persuade him to move to the Eternal City. Even coach Daniele De Rossi called the Ukrainian to explain why Roma would be the best solution for him. Dovbyk, with his characteristics, would be ideal for the Giallorossi as he is a center-forward who perfectly fits into a 4-3-3 tactics and can capitalize on crosses. Additionally, Dovbyk has impressive maneuvering capabilities, which will allow Pellegrini or Le Fee to make runs from midfield. Sørloth remains an alternative to Dovbyk, but as long as Villarreal insists on a figure of 38,000,000, it is unlikely that the transfer will be completed.##NAJAVA_MECA_8235002##
