Attributed to original sourceRoma’s summer transfer window is beginning to gather momentum, and the latest reports on Tuesday claim that Tottenham left-back Destiny Udogie is the latest name to appear on the Giallorossi wishlist.
Udogie appears on Roma’s wishlist Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has made it clear on several occasions this summer that he is not particularly satisfied with the incoming transfer activity at the Stadio Olimpico this summer.
The Giallorossi have brought in Santiago Castro from Bologna for €35m and Konstantinos Koulierakis from VfL Wolfsburg for around €17m this summer, but with several departures already this summer, including the likes of Zeki Celik and Artem Dovbyk, Gasperini feels that Roma still need several new players in, even just from a numerical point of view.
Nahuel Molina has recently arrived in Rome and is expected to be announced as a new Roma player in the near future.
Reports in the early stages of this week also claim that Roma are working on the final details of a deal for 19-year-old Porto talent Rodrigo Mora as well.
There had also been suggestions on Monday evening that Roma are interested in a potential deal for Inter winger Luis Henrique as well, available at a cost of around €30m.

What happened
According to reports, Roma have identified Tottenham's Destiny Udogie as a potential left-back target for the upcoming transfer window. The Italian club see the 22-year-old Italian international as an alternative to Inter's Henrique, who appears to be their primary option. Udogie has been a regular at Tottenham since joining from Udinese in 2022, making him a proven Serie A-quality player on paper. The report suggests Roma are exploring multiple avenues to strengthen their left flank.
Chance analysis
This is a speculative transfer report linking Roma with two left-back targets. Udogie moving back to Serie A would be notable as he originally developed at Udinese before his Premier League move. For Roma, addressing the left-back position is a clear tactical priority. For Tottenham, selling Udogie would be a significant decision given his importance to their squad depth. The fact that Henrique is the primary target and Udogie is the alternative suggests Roma's pursuit is still in early stages.
If confirmed, Roma would gain a proven left-back option while Tottenham would lose squad depth at left-back; no immediate match impact expected.
Treat as a low-confidence transfer rumor; monitor for concrete bids before adjusting any Roma left-back or Tottenham squad depth projections.
