With Mohamed Salah out for three weeks, Roma are turning to Memphis Depay and Napoli benchwarmer Emanuele Giaccherini.
The Egyptian international sustained an ankle injury during training and won’t be able to play again in 2016.
He is also due to go on Africa Cup of Nations duty in January and February, so the Giallorossi need a suitable replacement.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the main target is Manchester United man Depay.

Roma would prefer to take him on loan with option to buy for €25m, but United are not convinced by this scenario.
A much cheaper option would be Giaccherini, as Rai Sport note the Italy international has barely featured since joining Napoli over the summer.
