Roma set sights on Ilenikhena and Boadu for January

Roma have been chasing goals all summer, but Dovbyk’s failed move and the last-minute collapsed swap deal with AC Milan for Gimenez have postponed everything until January.

Massara, meanwhile, is closely monitoring the French market, where he’s particularly interested in George Ilenikhena, a Nigerian striker born in 2006 who has become a French national at Monaco, valued at €20-25 million.

More accessible, however, is Myron Boadu, PSV’s Dutch striker, fresh from nine Bundesliga goals with Bochum and with a contract expiring in 2026.

Possible loan swaps involving Dovbyk himself are also being considered, writes Francesco Balzani in La Gazzetta dello Sport.
