Roma has shifted its attention back to Gabriel Martinelli, the Brazilian winger and Arsenal player, after initially considering the Nusa option which proved too costly. This shift was reported by Corriere dello Sport, indicating that Roma is now prioritizing Martinelli, whose contract with Arsenal expires within a year.
