As the January transfer window approaches, [**Paulo Dybala’s future at Roma hangs**](https://www.footitalia.com/paulo-dybalas-potential-move-to-galatasaray-agent-in-turkiye/) in the balance, with Galatasaray showing strong interest in the Argentine playmaker. Dybala could potentially leave Roma six months before his contract expires, as his agent has already made contact with the Turkish club. This development has prompted Roma to consider potential replacements for La Joya, with Giacomo Raspadori emerging as a prime target.
Calciomcercato [**report**](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/roma-domino-dybala-sfida-alla-juventus-per-raspadori-18579) how Raspadori, currently struggling for playing time at Napoli, is seeking more consistent opportunities on the pitch. The versatile 24-year-old forward can play across the front line, much like Dybala, making him an attractive option for Roma. However, the Giallorossi face stiff competition from Juventus, where Cristiano Giuntoli, a long-time admirer of Raspadori, is keen to bring him to Turin.
Last summer, Napoli rejected a substantial offer from Atalanta for Raspadori – €25 million plus €10 million in bonuses. However, the situation has changed, and Napoli might now be willing to sell at a lower price as Raspadori looks for a project where he can play a more central role.
Interestingly, Roma may already have an in-house solution if Dybala departs. The club made a significant investment in Matías Soulé last summer, paying around €25 million plus bonuses. Soulé was initially brought in as a potential replacement for Dybala when the latter was close to moving to Saudi Arabia. If Dybala leaves now, Soulé could step into his role.
Additionally, Roma acquired Tommaso Baldanzi six months before Soulé’s arrival. Manager Daniele De Rossi has been experimenting with Baldanzi in a midfield role, with positive results.
