The AS Roma talent profiting from the failed Read transfer

Roma scout Emanuele Lulli has emerged as a solution at right-back after the club's failed €30m pursuit of Feyenoord's Givairo Read.

AS Roma pursued Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read heavily over the summer, but the transfer collapsed over the fee — the Dutch club demanded more than €30 million. Rather than pursue an external replacement, manager Gian Piero Gasperini found a solution within Roma's own ranks. Emanuele Lulli, a talent from the club's academy, has stepped up to fill the void on the right flank.
