Under American investor Thomas Di Benedetto, Roma are looking to bring youth in their flanks to build a strong team that can challenge for the trophy. It is quite evident that young players will be targeted in mercato as Walter Sabatini is being approached by the new owner for the role of sporting director in the capital club. He is expected to join the club by a week’s time.
Walter Sabatini is known for nourishing young unknown players. Best known for bringing in talents like Javier Pastore, Josip Ilicic and Armin Bacinovic, Sabatini might prove to be a master stroke by the American owners.
The only draw back with Sabatini is that he is often regarded to nurture only the youth, not giving importance to veterans that help in bringing valuable experience and form a balanced side. But in case with Roma, it’s the youth that needs the importance. It is due to Sabatini that the €60m rated Pastore is linked again and again with the club.
Abel Hernandez’s agent splashed rumors about the Palermo striker that the capital club was interested in signing him. The Uruguayan international looked in form this season. He scored a vital goal against Roma that gave Palermo all 3 points in an exciting win. It would look more realistic as soon Walter Sabatini takes his role. The Uruguayan has a contract with Palermo that expires in 2013.
Roma are also linked to the 19 year old Brazilian sensation Neymar. The Santos attacker has been targeted by Barcelona and Chelsea as well. Getting such players in the team will only increase moral and winning chances and would also bring in a winning mentality.
Whatever happens, we can expect to see loads of changes in the team in summer and hope they bring positive results and impacts.
Forza Roma!!
