Roma are gearing up for a crucial Serie A clash on Monday as they host Fiorentina at a nearly sold-out Stadio Olimpico in Matchday 35. The encounter isn't just about league standings—it's also a scouting opportunity for Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who has his eyes on three Fiorentina players for next season.
According to reports from La Nazione, the players in question are Brazilian full-back Dodô, Icelandic striker Albert Gudmundsson, and promising young talent Fortini. The latter, born in 2006, is a doubt for the trip to Rome and will only join the squad if cleared medically. However, his potential has already caught Gasperini's attention, and the Roma boss may push the club's management to secure his signature ahead of the new campaign.
Dodô and Gudmundsson, on the other hand, are expected to feature at the Olimpico. Both players have been on Roma's radar as the club looks to strengthen its squad and close the gap on Serie A's elite. Dodô, in particular, is a player Gasperini would love to coach, envisioning him as the ideal man to patrol the right flank. With his Fiorentina contract running down and renewal talks reportedly stalling, Roma are closely monitoring the situation.
Gudmundsson presents a different challenge. The Icelandic striker is under contract with Fiorentina until 2029, and his market value is estimated between €15-20 million. It's no secret that Roma showed interest in him last summer, and with Gasperini seeking to bolster his attacking options, Gudmundsson could once again find himself in the Giallorossi's sights.
As Monday's match approaches, all eyes will be on these three players—not just for their performance on the pitch, but for what they could bring to Roma's future. For fans and fashion-forward supporters alike, this is a game that blends on-field drama with off-field intrigue.
