Roma have failed to land both Jamie Leweling and Gittens, leaving Gian Piero Gasperini without the left-sided attacking reinforcement he had been openly demanding since the transfer window began.

Roma are now short of a left winger. The situation involving Jamie Leweling, the club’s main target to add quality to Gasperini’s attack, shifted rapidly over the past few hours. After the player’s initial reluctance, as he was focused on remaining at Stuttgart, the Giallorossi put forward an offer worth €30 million plus bonuses. The German club accepted that proposal, but the transfer still could not be completed.

The flight was cancelled - The move had appeared almost certain, with only a few hours remaining before the transfer deadline, but the deal has now collapsed for good. The flight scheduled for Ciampino, believed to be the one that would have brought the Stuttgart winger to the Italian capital, was cancelled.

The player said no - Stuttgart had accepted an offer last night of €30 million plus €4 million in bonuses. The paperwork between the clubs was ready and an agreement with the player’s agents had already been reached, but Leweling’s hesitation and the limited time available proved decisive. The player wants to stay at Stuttgart and is also reported to have rejected an offer from Everton, another club owned by the Friedkin family. The Premier League side are said to have offered around €43 million including bonuses.

No Gittens either - According to Fabrizio Romano, Bynoe-Gittens was never available to join Chelsea on loan. That option has also fallen through, and he will not be wearing the Giallorossi shirt next season.
