Gasperini asks Mario Pasalic to follow him to Roma | OneFootball

Mario Pasalic could become a concrete target for Roma as Gian Piero Gasperini looks to become Roma’s new head coach.

The Croatian midfielder has had a renewal proposal from Atalanta on the table for weeks, but according to Alfredo Pedullà, Gian Piero Gasperini – increasingly close to the Giallorossi bench – has asked him to follow him to Rome in the event of his arrival in the capital.

Pasalic is one of the Nerazzurri coach’s most trusted men, who has always appreciated his versatility, his ability to fit in and the balance he brings to the team, both as a midfielder and as an attacking midfielder.

Very close to both Atalanta and Gasperini himself, the 30-year-old player now finds himself at an important crossroads for his future.

On the one hand, there is the option of signing the renewal that was offered to him and staying in Bergamo, where he has become a fixture and an idol for the fans. On the other, the possibility of following his favorite coach in a new ambitious project like that of Roma.

The final word will be up to Pasalic, who will have to make up his mind in the coming weeks.
