Champions League earnings would boost Roma’s plans

Football is becoming a simple game at Roma: everyone runs, and then Malen scores.

This has been the trend since January. The Dutch striker has had a devastating impact: 13 goals in 16 Serie A games, during his time in the top five leagues, no one has scored more.

Only Kane has had the same performance in front of goal.

A top-scorer’s pace; just consider that the 1999-born player is just four points behind Lautaro Martinez (17), who has had half a season more. These numbers are helping Roma keep their Champions League dream alive.

Gasperini and his team have set a goal for the season: qualifying for next season’s Champions League. To return to the competition, Roma will need to earn at least one point more than AC Milan or two more than Spalletti’s Juventus .

As Repubblica reports, a fourth-place finish would reshape the future at Trigoria.

The nearly €20 million guaranteed for qualifying for the Champions League depends heavily on the schedule requested by the Giallorossi coach.

Roma needs a new sporting director; Massara was in the stands yesterday, but the club continues its casting process to replace him, and Gasperini wants a squad ready to go immediately.

The Grugliasco-born coach is demanding a new contract with Paulo Dybala , one of the key figures in the 3-2 victory at the Tardini against Parma . The next two matches will impact Roma’s future.
