Gasperini shuts down Zaha-to-Roma links, hints at Atalanta stay
Reports of a potential Wilfried Zaha switch to Roma were addressed by Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who appeared to cool the speculation. Gasperini's comments suggest Atalanta are not actively pursuing the Crystal Palace winger, whose contract situation has long attracted interest from Serie A clubs. The episode leaves Zaha's future unresolved as the transfer window progresses, with Roma potentially needing to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcement.
Read the full story at football-italia.netGasperini's dismissal of the Zaha rumours is consistent with Atalanta's well-known transfer philosophy — patient, value-driven recruitment rather than marquee signings for ageing or high-wage players. For Roma, it removes one of the more eye-catching names from their wide forward shortlist at a time when their attacking depth has been questioned. Zaha, meanwhile, remains in a familiar holding pattern: a talented player whose next move has been the subject of speculation for several windows without resolution.
