Roma are expected to send Leon Bailey back to Aston Villa as the Italian club seeks to create movement in the transfer market, with La Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that the lack of outgoing transfers is hampering their ability to secure reinforcements, particularly in attacking positions.
Roma Set to Return Leon Bailey to Aston Villa Amid Transfer Market Restructuring
Bailey’s departure back to Aston Villa will free up space for the imminent arrival of Giacomo Raspadori, as Roma look to reshape their attacking options during the January transfer window. The Jamaican winger’s return to Villa Park forms part of Roma’s broader strategy to generate movement in their squad after a period of limited transfer activity.
Tommaso Baldanzi could also be heading for the exit door, with Roma considering using the young midfielder as a bargaining chip in negotiations to sign Albert Gudmundsson from Fiorentina. The Italian club are exploring various player exchange options as they attempt to strengthen their squad while managing their transfer budget constraints.
The future of striker Artem Dovbyk remains uncertain following his injury sustained against Lecce, with his proposed move to Napoli now in doubt. Meanwhile, the possible cancellation of Evan Ferguson’s loan deal has been put on hold, with both Real Betis and Nottingham Forest showing interest in the young forward.
Roma appear unlikely to sanction departures for Kostas Tsimikas and Daniele Ghilardi, suggesting the club are being selective about which players they are willing to let leave as they balance squad depth with their need to generate funds for new signings during the winter transfer window.
