Gasperini laments Roma's financial limitations
Roma are reportedly interested in Premier League wingers Jadon Sancho and Leon Bailey, while they are fighting off interest in Manu Kone.
Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has warned everyone is aware of the club's financial limitations as it continues to be linked with Jadon Sancho and Leon Bailey.
Ahead of its first campaign under Gasperini, Roma has spent close to €50m on right-back Wesley and midfielder Neil El Aynaoui, while bringing in Evan Ferguson and Daniele Ghilardi on loan.
Gasperini wants more incomings ahead of his side's opening Serie A match against Bologna next Sunday, with deals for two wingers in the works.
Reports this week said Roma had made a €23m (£20m) bid for Manchester United outcast Sancho, though it has since been suggested that it is frustrated with the time the Englishman has taken to consider his decision.
Aston Villa wide-man Bailey is another target, with a €3m loan fee and a purchase option of €20m mooted for the Jamaican.
Asked about Roma's transfer plans, Gasperini said: "This is a team that has quality and we must try to improve it. There is great clarity with the club and we share ideas on what needs to be done.
"We've not had anyone new come in for three weeks now. If possible, we should get some new players without losing any.
"I have been very clear with the club about what needs to be done. Now we just hope that we can do it."
Roma is also facing a battle to hold onto midfielder Manu Kone, who has attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Inter and is valued at €40m.
Gasperini wants to keep the France international but knows a sale would boost Roma's financial fair play position.
"We'll see what happens over the next two weeks. Kone is undoubtedly a very good player, he would be a loss," Gasperini said.
"We must see what we can do from now to the end of the transfer window, because everyone knows the financial fair play situation."
Roma rounded off its pre-season preparations with a 2-2 draw against Saudi Pro League side Neom, with Bryan Cristante and Matias Soule on target.
Next week's clash with Bologna will represent a milestone for Gasperini, who will oversee his 600th Serie A match as a coach.
He will be the fifth coach to hit that mark, after Carlo Mazzone (792), Nereo Rocco (747), Giovanni Trapattoni (689) and Nils Liedholm (635).
