Atlanta Through The UEFA Champions League As They Beat Roma

Atalanta clinched a spot in the UEFA Champions League on Monday, defeating Roma 2-1 and securing their place in Serie A’s top four. The win, which moved Atalanta to third, came thanks to a 76th-minute goal from Ibrahim Sulemana. With two matches left in the season, Atalanta is now seven points ahead of fifth-placed Lazio. The match saw Ademola Lookman put Atalanta ahead early, before Bryan Cristante equalized for Roma in the 32nd minute. However, Sulemana’s late strike ended Roma’s 19-match unbeaten streak and dashed their hopes of catching Lazio and Juventus, who currently occupy the fourth spot. Roma will still fight for a Champions League spot, but face a tough challenge next weekend against AC Milan, while Juventus hosts Udinese. Reaching the Champions League would be a huge triumph for Ranieri as Roma looked like relegation candidates when he came out of retirement in November to take charge of his boyhood club for the third time. Gasperini has been tipped to take over Ranieri after nine hugely successful years in the Atalanta dugout, winning the Europa League last season.

Roma considers January bid for Ola Aina

Roma are considering a January bid for Nottingham Forest full-back Ola Aina, a former Torino defender. The Giallorossi need reinforcements on the right flank, as Saud Abdulhamid still needs time to settle in and challenge Zeki Celik for a starting spot. For this reason, the Serie A side have reportedly set their sights on ex-Torino defender Ola Aina, currently under contract with Premier League side Nottingham Forest. The 28-year-old’s deal runs out in June 2025, so the Giallorossi hope he’ll be available for a reduced transfer fee during the winter transfer window. Ola Aina is a versatile full-back who can also play on the left flank, which is one more reason the Giallorossi are monitoring him. According to the report, Roma will need from €12m to €15m to secure the defender’s signature in two months, but the Giallorossi will likely negotiate a lower fee and may try to include Nicola Zalewski in a player-plus-cash swap deal. Zalewski was recently reintroduced to the Roma squad after snubbing a summer move to Galatasaray. He’s currently in talks to extend with the Giallorossi as his deal runs out at the end of the season. Ola Aina scored two goals and provided seven assists in 113 appearances with Torino.
