Josè Mourinho has built and is building Roma by buying many players from the Premier League.
After signing Rui Patricio, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Matic, Tammy Abraham, Diego Llorente and Rasmus Kristensen, he absolutely wants to bring forward Calvert-Lewin to the Eternal City.
Roma really like the Everton star because he would allow Abraham to ease back to full fitness after his knee injury and offer Paulo Dybala a strong partner similar to Mario Mandzukic at Juventus.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma are seriously interested in presenting an official offer for the 26-year-old centre-forward who has had difficulties in the last two seasons.
With Ancelotti at Everton, however, Calvert-Lewin scored 21 goals and this aspect is considered to be a fundamental evaluation for the Italian club which has always had a lot of admiration for players coached by the former Giallorossi manager.
189 centimeters in height are very useful for Roma, who seem to have many difficulties in attack at the moment.
Dybala's physical conditions are always precarious and Abraham is sidelined for several months, for this reason the physically dominant English forward could be very useful in Mourinho's tactical philosophy.
However, despite his gifts Calvert-Lewin has suffered many muscular and traumatic injuries that have hampered him.
But in Serie A he would be a decisive player and could experience a new and fortunate phase of his career.
Deal possible but only if Roma will not spend money
According to Corriere dello Sport a deal can only be done on extremely advantageous terms for Roma.
The transfer must be, at least initially, formulated on the basis of a loan with the option to make permanent.
Everton may be inclined to agree with the evaluation of the Sheffield native coming off the worst 24 months of his career.
Calvert-Lewin would be happy to move to Italy, to Roma, under the guidance of Mourinho, a coach capable of attracting as many quality players to the team as honey does to bees.
The presence of many former Premier League stars would ease his settlement in the city, an important aspect in the initial phase of the negotiation.
Andrea Belotti in the last Serie A campaign was a disaster, failing to score even once in 31 appearances.
Roma need a striker and cannot repeat the same mistakes made in the transfer market last summer.
Considering their difficulties in getting Gianluca Scamacca out of West Ham, Calvert-Lewin is considered to be an excellent second choice.
The difference between the two players is above all linked to the price: the Everton forward could cost 50 percent less than the Italian centre-forward and would arrive on loan without large initial expenses.
Calvert-Lewin would cost much less than Alvaro Morata - another possibility at the position - as would Scamacca, and would have the possibility of experiencing a sporting renaissance unlike the Spaniard who will be 32 in 2024.
This set of data gives Roma more enthusiasm to try and relaunch the English striker without any obligation to buy.
