Roma are looking to the future with eight games remaining this season.
The Giallorossi have identified Sergio Arribas as a potential addition to their attack, amid speculation Paulo Dybala may depart after four years.
Arribas’ Talents Attract Attention
Arribas, born in 2001, is an attacking midfielder from Almeria who came through the Real Madrid youth system.
He is a left-footed player known for his technique, dribbling, and finishing.
Arribas can play as an attacking winger on either the right or left.
This season, he has scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists in 33 Segunda Liga games, attracting attention from several clubs.
Arribas’ Career So Far
Arribas made his debut with Real Madrid in the Champions League and La Liga under Zidane.
In 2023, he moved to Almeria, contributing to their fight for promotion to La Liga.
The Spanish club currently sits in third place and aims to return to the top flight.
Roma’s Interest and Potential Obstacles
Arribas was already a target of former sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, and now his name is back in the spotlight, with Roma already in contact with Almeria.
However, Almeria’s valuation of €20 million could be a stumbling block.
Roma is also seriously considering Kerim Alajbegovic, though Bayer Leverkusen’s asking price coincides with Arribas’ valuation.
The German club bought Alajbegovic from Salzburg for €8 million just a few days ago, and the deal appears to be quite complicated.
