Roma target Nahuel Molina and Augustin Giay for right flank
In fact, Roma are said to be focusing on the right flank above all, to favor Gasperini's preferred 3-4-3 system.

Overall, Roma's full-backs have contributed 25 goals in total over the last five seasons, a modest haul when compared to the numbers of the teams coached by Gasperini: in the same period, his Atalanta full-backs have scored 45 goals.
As reported by Il Messaggero, the first name to end up on Roma's notebook is Agustin Giay, an Argentine born in 2004, considered one of the most promising talents in South American football.
A versatile right-back with a past as a centre-back, Giay grew up with the legend of Javier Zanetti and currently plays for Palmeiras.
The price set for his transfer is around 15 million euros.

In addition to Roma, Napoli and Benfica are also interested in him.
However, the club does not seem willing to negotiate before the Club World Cup.
In addition to Giay, Nahuel Molina also remains in the background: Atlético Madrid, however, start with a valuation of at least 30 million.

World Rugby unable to identify perpetrators of racism at Argentina-England match
LONDON (AP) — World Rugby couldn't identify perpetrators of racism after receiving a complaint from England regarding abuse aimed at its players during a match in Argentina this month. 'While it is clear that an incident took place, we regret that the individuals responsible could not be identified,' World Rugby said Monday, adding that the Argentine federation 'has developed an action plan to enhance their operations, educate fans and better prevent such unacceptable incidents from occurring again.' Jack van Poortvliet's last-gasp try earned England a 22-17 win over Argentina and another test series victory in Pumas country. 'We strongly condemn all acts of racism and stand in solidarity with the England Rugby players who felt aggrieved,' said Gabriel Travaglini, president of the Argentina Rugby Union. 'Upon learning of the incidents, intense efforts were made to identify the small group of five or seven individuals responsible within a crowd of over 20,000 spectators,' Travaglini added. 'Unfortunately, despite an exhaustive search, it was not possible to identify the perpetrators. We will continue to work collaboratively with World Rugby to educate the fans and eradicate any similar manifestations in the future, ensuring that our events are spaces of respect and inclusion for everyone.' __ AP rugby:

Report – Atalanta Open To Letting Star Forward Join Inter Milan On Two Conditions
Atalanta are reportedly willing to let Ademola Lookman join Inter Milan, but only under two key conditions. According to Corriere della Sera via FCInterNews, the first condition is for the Nerazzurri to increase their offer. Inter opened negotiations with Atalanta with a tangible €40 million bid. However, La Dea rejected the offer as they hold out for a €50m asking price. Therefore, they have urged Inter to improve the terms. Reportedly, they would greenlight the deal for €45m paid upfront, with an additional €5m tied to performance-related bonuses. Atalanta Ready to Sanction Ademola Lookman Move to Inter Milan on Two Conditions An improved offer is only the first condition. Indeed, there's another key element that could be just as crucial. It's now clear that Atalanta are open to selling Ademola Lookman. Last summer, Atalanta and Juventus spent almost the entire transfer window negotiating a deal for Teun Koopmeiners. The Dutchman's late move to Turin left La Dea with no time to find a suitable replacement. Now that they've learned from that mistake, Ivan Juric's men want to avoid another summer-long saga.
