According to GOAL, citing Fichajes, Roma are assessing a defensive signing for January and Lorenzo Pirola is one of the names under consideration. Roma also want another reinforcement out wide alongside that move.
What Roma are looking for
According to GOAL, citing Fichajes, Roma want a young but reliable centre-back, preferably right-footed and strong in the air, who can come in for one of Ghilardi or Koulierakis. According to GOAL, citing Fichajes, Koulierakis has not impressed Gasperini.
Pirola's background
According to Fichajes, Pirola was born in 2002 and is currently owned by Olympiakos. He came through Inter's youth ranks and has played for Monza and Salernitana.
His role in Greece
In Greece, Pirola is getting regular starts under Imanol Alguacil and has started all 12 of his appearances across Champions League qualifying, the Europa League and the league.
Contract and fee
Pirola joined Olympiacos from Salernitana for €3 million in the summer of 2024. His contract expires on 30 June 2028. According to GOAL, that contract situation could make him a low-cost option for Roma.
