The Giallorossi are expected to bring in reinforcements in the winter transfer window.
Gazzetta confirms thatClaudio Ranieri’s priorities are a striker and two new full-backs.
The pink paper adds that two of the Giallorossi targets in the attack are Napoli’s Raspadori and Everton’s Beto.

The latter, a former Udinese striker, has scored four goals in 12 appearances with the Toffees this season.
The Portuguese forward would be a backup for Artem Dovbyk, while Raspadori would offer Ranieri different attack solutions, playing close to a classic centre-forward and opening spaces for the midfielders’ late runs.
However, it remains to be seen if Napoli will sell the Italy international, who will start in a Coppa Italia Round of 16 tie against Lazio this evening.
Doucouré, who is also under contract with Friedkin-owned club Everton, could replace Enzo Le Fée, the only outfield player that Ranieri hasn’t yet deployed.
The Frenchman joined Roma in a €23m deal from Rennes last summer and may leave the Olimpico on loan next month.
