In the middle of the transfer market and on the eve of the Europa League match against Feyenoord, Roma find themselves in limbo with their goalkeepers. The undisputed starter is and remains Mile Svilar, his assistant will be the second Primavera goalkeeper Giorgio De Marzi. The 2007-born player climbs the hierarchy and finds himself on the bench with the first team in Europe: Ryan has been sold to Lens who have already made it official – the cost of the contract is 800 thousand euros – Gollini has yet to arrive in the capital for medical visits and signing on the contract but in any case cannot be registered until the end of the first phase (end of January), and the Primavera Marin starter will be out for a month and a half due to a lesion of the anterior talofibular ligament and a lesion subtotal of the tibial peroneal syndesmosis. WHAT THE REGULATIONS SAY – List A – with Svilar and Ryan – can only be modified if there are two players on the list with injuries for at least 30 days, Marin is on list B and for this reason his knockout is not included in this count. Other goalkeepers can be registered in the second list up to 24 hours before the match, probably another youth goalkeeper will be included for the match against Feyenoord. ROME’S ATTEMPT – In view of the away match in Holland there is no margin to intervene, but for the home match against Eintracht Frankfurt – the last of the first phase – scheduled for the 30th, they will try to resolve the situation: the club is speaking with UEFA to understand if there is room to sign Gollini, highlighting a regulatory gap as it is the first year of the new format with the first phase underway in the open market. However, UEFA is unlikely to allow Roma to register the goalkeeper arriving from Atalanta until the end of the first phase.
