Angelino targets Roma return under Gasperini after physical setback
Reports indicate the player intends to remain at the club, with formal decisions on his role and potential transfers deferred until after summer preseason assessments.
Spanish winger Angelino has signalled his intention to remain at AS Roma for the upcoming campaign, seeking to re-establish his standing under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The player’s desire to stay in the capital was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, with Yahoo Sports citing the outlet as the primary source for the update.
Angelino’s objective is to return to the performance levels he achieved during what he describes as his most successful period with the Giallorossi. This goal follows a physically demanding previous season that the player attributes to significant weight loss, reportedly shedding 15kg. He aims to arrive at the summer preseason in optimal condition to address the issues that previously impacted his playing time and consistency.
The immediate focus for the winger is to participate in training camp and demonstrate his fitness to the new coaching staff. Angelino intends to use the preseason period to convince Gasperini that he remains a valuable asset to the squad, moving past the difficulties of the last term to prove his utility within the team’s structure.
Formal discussions regarding Angelino’s specific role in the club’s new technical project are not expected to occur immediately. According to the report, in-depth conversations with the coach will take place only after initial on-field assessments have been completed during the preseason window.
These post-preseason evaluations will determine the extent of Angelino’s involvement in the new Roma setup. The outcomes of these assessments will also clarify whether transfer scenarios will materialise, leaving his long-term future at the club contingent on his performance in training.
