A fork in the road in Roma: Bailey and Tsimikas

Roma are preparing to overhaul their squad in the January transfer window. In line with the report of technical director Gian Piero Gasperini, "disappointing" names will be parted ways in order to reduce the salary budget and make room for new signings.

LEON BAILEY

The 28-year-old winger, signed from Aston Villa with high hopes, has yet to score a goal in 9 appearances for Roma. The Italian press criticized the injury-plagued player for a "lackluster performance".

KOSTAS TSIMIKAS

The Greek left-back, on loan from Liverpool, has failed to adapt to Gasperini's tactical system despite making 11 appearances.

Both players are expected to be sent back to their clubs at half-time due to technical incompetence and poor performances.
