Roma target Udinese striker Keinan Davis as Malen backup

AS Roma are reportedly targeting Udinese centre‑forward Keinan Davis as a potential backup for forward Xavi Malen, with the English striker having scored ten goals and provided four assists in thirty appearances last season. Sporting director Tony D’Amico aims to finalise the club’s settlement agreement before the June 30 deadline.

Roma’s transfer market is entering a particularly heated phase, with the Giallorossi club engaged on multiple fronts, including incoming negotiations and unresolved financial and administrative matters.

On a technical level, attention is primarily focused on the attack, where Greenwood is the top priority for both Gasperini and the management.

A series of broader evaluations are underway around Greenwood, involving various profiles being explored, from the attacking midfield to the search for a possible backup to Malen, a role deemed crucial to completing the attack.

According to La dello Sport, the name of Keinan Davis, Udinese’s centre forward, who could leave Friuli in the coming weeks, comes into play.

The English striker was born in 1998, and his ten‑goal, four‑assist record is viewed as a solid option to strengthen Roma’s attacking options.

His ten‑goal, four‑assist record is considered a solid option to reinforce the squad as the club finalises its summer plans.
