Roma coach Luciano Spalletti this afternoon gave his first press conference of the new pre-season, and he has promised fans that the club will sign a “great attacker” this summer.
The Giallorossi were the first Italian club to begin pre-season training on Thursday, and Spalletti likes what he has seen from his squad so far.
"The first sensations are good,” the ex-Sampdoria coach told the assembled media.
“The environment is great, the boys are all training with honour.”
Roma had a very disappointing season last term, finishing in sixth place and thus failing to qualify for the Champions League.
“The results were negative last season, but in these four years, Roma have won a number of important matches, against tough opponents by producing good quality football,” Spalletti stressed.
The bald-headed boss then moved onto the transfer market, praising new acquisition Stefano Guberti, ruling out a move for goalkeeper Matteo Sereni, before signalling his intention to sign a penalty box striker.
"Guberti is a player who we followed for a while, and he is a lad with promise,” he stated.
“The club is working, and we have to wait for the right moment. However, an attacker must be found. A prima punta.
“Matteo Sereni? I like the goalkeepers I already have.”
Finally, Spalletti was asked whether Andriy Shevchenko or Julio Cruz were two of the attackers he was trying to sign.
“I prefer not to name them, but they are certainly great players,” he concluded.
