The technician asked for guarantees on the market. Texani on the hunt for the “perfect” solution to circumvent the UEFA agreement. New appointment in the next few days
No white smoke. In fact, there had been the famous “papal” stove would have been substantially tending to gray. In short, there will be a little longer to understand if in the end the marriage between Gian Piero Gasperini and Roma can really be realized. A question of technical guarantees, financial fair play and also of more or less veiled opportunities. This is what emerged from the interview that the Piedmontese coach had yesterday morning with Dan and Ryan Friedkin, the owners of Rome, in the Florentine land. A meeting that asked the Gasp to understand some fundamental aspects in the future of Rome.
the summit
–
Yesterday morning Florent Ghisolfi and Claudio Ranieri thus took a train with destination Milan. Except that in the Lombard capital they never got there, they went down before, in Florence, in the Santa Maria Novella station. And from there they reached the college of oaks, an elegant luxury resort in the east part of Florence, near Coverciano. There were really Dan and Ryan Friedkin waiting for them, the hosts, given that the owners are also the owners of that resort. But above all Gian Piero Gasperini, who had reached Florence directly from Bergamo. With them also Claudio Bisceglia, the official translator of Rome, to encourage the conversation between the president of Rome and the future coach, who with English does not have the same confidence as with the field. A summit that went on for about a couple of hours, also interspersed with lunch and the subsequent return of the managers to Rome. And of Gasperini in his house, in that of Bergamo.

Gasperini with the Friedkin spoke of programming and organization, but above all of technical and market guarantees. He went away with a very positive impression of the Rome owners, who explained to him exactly what the situation of the Giallorossi budget was (-81.4 million the closure of the last economic exercise, with a net debt of 504.7 million) and the difficulties in operating in the next two markets, the summer and winter one of the next competitive season. “Two markets of suffering” – as Ranieri himself said – due to the stakes of the Settlement Agreement signed with UEFA and which provides that by 2026 the financial statements of the Romanist club falls within the parameters of the “Football Earnings Rule”, with an aggregate deficit not exceeding 60 million euros. At the end of the fair, Roma took time to understand how to “get around” the Fair Play stakes, also because Gasperini still asked for the guarantee of being able to immediately have a team up to the situation, on which to work immediately. The Atalanta technician, in fact, knows well to move from a situation where the absolute king is in fact to one in which he will be welcomed at least with a minimum of diffidence (the Romanist square is divided between the obvious skill of the coach and his alleged Roman antipathy). And starting with the wrong march could create more than one problem. Moreover, in Rome he would hardly find the patience he found in Bergamo, when the first year took a while before carving and flying high.
And now …

And then we will update ourselves in the next few days, when Rome has studied the situation better and will be able to give the most precise answers to Gasperini on the financial fair play. Not that in Trigoria they don’t know the problem, on the contrary. It is that everything will be done to look for a solution and to be able to immediately invest important figures, functional to the strengthening of a team that needs a deep make -up to play Gasperini’s football. In the meantime, the Piedmontese coach will also return to Bergamo to clarify his situation with the percers. From the Nerazzurri club no irritation for yesterday’s meeting, moreover the Gasp had had the authorization to speak with other teams. But – regardless of everything – there will be the desire, in case, to leave each other in the best way.
