Italian media: Roma is interested in Genoa midfielder Frendrup and hopes to exchange Pisilli for a loan in the winter

According to La Repubblica, Roma is considering trading Pisilli for Genoa midfielder Frendrup in the winter.

In addition to recruiting reinforcements for forwards during the winter transfer period, Roma is also considering introducing a midfielder. Roma youth player Pisilli is not favored by new coach Gasperini. He has only made two substitute appearances in Serie A this season, totaling 42 minutes. Currently, Roma only has three available midfielders: Cristante, Cone, and Elnawi, and they need to add one more.

"La Repubblica" revealed that Roma's midfielder signing candidate is Genoa's Frendrup, and Gasperini believes that he can play a role in his tactical system. The 24-year-old Frendrup is a Danish midfielder currently worth 20 million euros. He has played 11 times in Serie A this season, including 10 starts.

Roma hopes to exchange Pisilli for Frendrup during the winter transfer period. It is still uncertain what method this player exchange will take. The media predicts that it may be to exchange and rent two players in the winter and add a buyout clause at the end of the season. It is worth mentioning that Genoa's newly appointed coach De Rossi is very optimistic about Pisilli. In the past, De Rossi made great use of Pisili when he was the coach of Roma.

Pisilli came from the Roma youth training. He began to represent the Roma first team at the age of 18 and was selected for the Italian national team. Pisilli is currently the main force of the Italian U21 national team. In last Friday's European Youth Championship qualifiers, Pisilli also scored a very exciting goal for the Italian U21.

In the past, when Mourinho, De Rossi and Ranieri were coaching Roma, Pisilli received key training. However, his playing opportunities have been significantly reduced this season. The media believes that this is because in the Europa League match between Roma and Nice in September, Pisilli recklessly fouled and scored a penalty kick after coming off the bench, and then lost the trust of coach Gasperini.

However, in order to cope with the third-line battle, Inter Milan also wants to introduce a new midfielder in the winter, and they also have their sights on Frendrup. After Naples suffered consecutive injuries in the midfield, there were also scandals with Frendrup.
