What happened: Roma have reached a basic agreement on personal terms with Italian-born striker Nicolo Tresoldi, the 21-year-old currently at Club Brugge, according to reporting out of Italy. The Giallorossi still need to offload current centre-forward Artem Dovbyk before they can meet Brugge's valuation and complete the signing.

Why it matters: Gian Piero Gasperini wants a fresh out-and-out centre-forward to rotate and compete with Donyell Malen up front. Selling Dovbyk would both raise the funds for a Tresoldi bid and clear the space for a new arrival to feature regularly at the Stadio Olimpico.

By the numbers: Club Brugge value Tresoldi at around €25m, with other outlets citing a figure closer to €30m. Tresoldi finished as the top scorer in Belgium's Jupiler Pro League this past season; born in Italy, he has represented Germany at U19 and U21 level after joining Hannover 96 at 13.

What to watch: Watch whether Roma can secure a buyer for Dovbyk to unlock the funds, and whether interest from Atletico Madrid forces their hand on Tresoldi.
