According to Tuttomercato, AS Roma is considering the 34-year-old Italian full-back Davide Zappacosta as a potential reinforcement. As Roma seeks to reinforce its squad for coach Gian Piero Gasperini, with a particular priority on the wide areas and especially the right flank, Davide Zappacosta's candidacy has reportedly become a stronger possibility. The coach appreciates the player for his technical characteristics, physicality, running, and ability to contribute to both defense and attack. Their shared history at Atalanta and the relationship built over the years could make the transfer easier.
The presence of sporting director Tony D'Amico, who also came from the Bergamo club, is another factor that could ease contact between the parties. The potential transfer is also considered financially appealing, as Zappacosta could leave Bergamo for a fee under ten million euros, which would make the investment more sustainable than other options Roma has considered. Zappacosta has reportedly surpassed Fiorentina's Dodô in the coach's preferences, and interest in Dodô has decreased in recent weeks. Roma is ready to act if the right conditions emerge to sign the full-back. The Italian international has 14 caps, is under contract with Atalanta until June 2028, and has a current market value of €3.50m according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, Zappacosta made 35 appearances, scored 3 goals, and provided 4 assists.
