Roma are on the verge of completing the Raspadori Roma transfer after making significant progress in contract negotiations with the Italian forward, advancing on the developments earlier reported on Krackka.
Transfer specialist Matteo Moretto reports Roma and Atletico Madrid are close to finalizing a loan agreement for Raspadori. The parties are currently negotiating the final contract details, with a breakthrough expected soon.
The Raspadori Roma transfer will see the 25-year-old join on a paid loan worth €1.5 million with a flexible purchase option ranging between €20.5 million and €23 million. The agreement between the clubs includes additional clauses and penalties that could raise the total cost of the operation.
Raspadori has already given the green light to move to the Stadio Olimpico from Atletico Madrid, the club he joined last summer from Napoli. The Italian international has struggled for playing time in Spain’s capital this season.
The Raspadori Roma transfer represents a crucial opportunity to secure regular football ahead of the 2026 World Cup. At 25, the former Sassuolo star needs consistent minutes to maintain his place in Italy’s national team setup. His versatility allows him to operate as both a second striker and attacking midfielder, fitting perfectly into manager Gian Piero Gasperini’s system.
Roma hope to sign both Raspadori and Manchester United forward Joshua Zirkzee this month as they look to strengthen their attacking options. The Giallorossi have struggled for goals this season having scored just 22 across 19 Serie A matches and need reinforcements to climb the Serie A table.
What Else?
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone stated Raspadori’s training attitude doesn’t suggest he will leave, but the Colchoneros are reportedly open to whatever may happen in the January transfer window.
Roma’s loan structure with a flexible purchase option gives them breathing room to assess Raspadori’s fit before committing to a permanent deal. The deal’s flexibility could prove vital for both clubs as they navigate the financial complexities of January business.
