Roma tried to appease Gian Piero Gasperini in a summit centered on the transfer market on Wednesday. However, the main reason for his malcontent, director Frederic Massara, wasn\u2019t present, and only the son of the owner, Ryan Friedkin, participated, La Repubblica<\/em> informs.<\/p>\n The brass shares the coach\u2019s ambition, but the club needs to respect a settlement agreement they concurred with UEFA due to previous Financial Fair Play violations. They must tread the needle in every deal.<\/p>\n Massara didn\u2019t attend the meeting because he had a rendezvous with the agents of Giacomo Raspadori, raising their proposal on personal to convince him to switch sides. Roma are more confident, even though they\u2019ll have to wait since he\u2019s in Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup.<\/p>\n The Giallorossi<\/em> aren\u2019t fretting about Gasperini\u2019s complaints, which happened routinely in Bergamo, when he often threatened to resign during the summer windows. Still, he and the director are at odds and have had at least two public fights following the losses to Juventus and Atalanta. The gaffer had hoped Claudio Ranieri, who persuaded him to take the job, would support him more, but he\u2019s mostly a liaison and not an everyday presence. Conversely, the hierarchy expected him to mellow out a little.<\/p>\n It shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise, as his gruff and demanding personality is well-known. It\u2019s somewhat charming and refreshing when things are going great, not so much when the going gets rough. Perhaps, they thought he\u2019d make it a full season before showing his true colors. It might not be long before they have to pick between the boss and the official.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Roma and Gasperini<\/h3>\n
