Attributed to original sourceWith Al-Hilal paying €80m for Crysencio Summerville, Roma must turn to other targets, including Antonio Nusa, Diego Moreira and Andreas Schjelderup.
The Giallorossi’s frustrating search for a striker to complete their trident attack goes on, as after losing out on Mason Greenwood to Fenerbahce, they thought that Summerville was in hand from West Ham United for €50m.

Roma are again forced to start from scratch, and look down the list of candidates provided by coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Nusa, Moreira or Schjelderup for Roma?

The 21-year-old Norway international is on the radar for Arsenal, Newcastle United, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and even Napoli, with the asking price at around €45m.

He turns 22 next month and Chelsea still have first refusal on the winger, who they sold to RC Strasbourg in 2024.
Moreira is by far the likeliest to join Roma, and last season contributed five goals with nine assists in 42 competitive games, but the original €30m proposal was rejected and the asking price closer to €50m.
The name that popped up over the last 24 hours is Schjelderup, the Norway international who just turned 22 and who competes with Nusa for the starting spot.
Benfica bought him from Nordsjaelland in 2023, and his contract only runs to June 2028.
The biggest competition here comes from the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool already on his tail.
Above all, it was reported this week that Benfica wanted €80m for the sale , which would be simply impossible for the Giallorossi.

What happened
According to Football Italia, Roma have already made moves for Crysencio Summerville and are now looking at additional wingers/attacking options. The Giallorossi are considering Antonio Nusa (Club Brugge), Moreira, and Andreas Schjelderup as alternatives or complementary targets. The article frames this as a multi-player wish list, suggesting Roma are prioritizing wide attacking reinforcements ahead of the upcoming window. No fees or official confirmations are reported.
Chance analysis
Roma appear to be targeting multiple wide attackers, which signals a clear tactical priority to add pace, dribbling, and creative depth in the final third. Pursuing several names simultaneously is typical of early-window strategy and gives Roma negotiating leverage. The specific profiles (young, creative, direct wingers) suggest new sporting direction under their current project.
If Roma sign one of these wingers, attacking depth increases significantly; selling clubs lose a key creative asset.
Roma are bolstering wide attack; expect them to be active sellers of redundant wingers and potential buyers of Summerville/Nusa/Schjelderup before window closes.
