Roma had previously shown interest in signing Antonino Gallo last summer, as confirmed by the sporting director Trinchera.

Gallo has shown great things and is on the radar of some clubs, including Roma. There has never been direct negotiations with them, but Roma has seriously considered him.

The transfer is practically done, and the announcement could come in the next few hours. Florent Ghisolfi, the new sporting director of Roma, has been in constant contact with Lecce to finalize the signing of Antonino Gallo. Gallo, a key player in the last Serie A season with 35 appearances and 3 assists, is expected to join Roma under the management of Daniele De Rossi. A curious backstory facilitated the negotiations: the role of Gallo's father-in-law, Guillelmo Giacomazzi, who is the second-in-command at Roma under DDR.
