Source: Forza Roma

Aldair, Roma's legendary defender and captain from 1990 to 2003, returned to the Stadio Olimpico to film scenes for a documentary about his career. The former number 6 reflected on the emotional experience of stepping back into the ground where he spent the best years of his playing life.

Aldar served as Roma's captain during a significant period in the club's history, building a reputation as one of the pillars of the defence during the 1990s and early 2000s. His return to the Olimpico for the filming of the docufilm "Aldair. Cuore giallorosso" stirred powerful memories of his time wearing the giallorossi shirt.

Sharing his emotions on Instagram, Aldair said: "Every time I passed by here, I knew what was waiting for me. The emotion, the Olimpico, our people. Coming back for the film was like taking a journey back in time." The documentary project marks a celebration of one of Roma's most respected figures from the club's modern era.

Roma mourn Luciano Tessari, former goalkeeper and Liedholm's assistant in the 1982/83 Scudetto season

AS Roma have announced the death of Luciano Tessari, a former club goalkeeper who served as assistant to Nils Liedholm in the 1982/83 Scudetto-winning season. Tessari had turned 98 on 29 September. The club paid tribute with a set of historic photographs. The club's statement described him as a historic Roma goalkeeper who also coached the first team and the youth sector, and as Liedholm's deputy in the season the club won the Scudetto in 1982/83. "Tessari is a piece of our history, a man who left his mark on the Roma family," the message read. The club extended its affection to his family and loved ones in their grief. The death is a loss for the club's history, linking the current generation to the side that delivered Roma's second league title under Liedholm. Tessari's roles across goalkeeping, first-team coaching and the youth sector reflect the long service many former players have given to the club.

Gasperini keeps Endrick on his list as Roma eye Kvernadze in the summer

Gian Piero Gasperini continues to press for reinforcements at Trigoria, with Endrick his first choice for the attack, even as the international break begins. Endrick spoke today about his future: "I don't know what will happen in January; it is in God's hands. Madrid is a wonderful city, but I will always do everything necessary to advance my career." The Brazilian has no doubts anymore and has decided to leave Real Madrid in January. Roma face competition for his signature from Sporting Lisbon, who will lean on the Fonseca factor. Former Roma coach Ruben Fonseca trained Endrick last season at Lyon, and the Portuguese club have already opened contacts with the striker. Roma's plan, however, is clear: sign Endrick on loan to chase the Scudetto, and bring in Kvernadze on a permanent deal in the summer. The idea of using Nagida on the left has also come up as part of the club's planning.

Tavano on Bouaskar: limited chances for Slim, but the dream of first-team football remains

Diego Tavano, agent of Edoardo Bove and others, has spoken about the situation of Slim Bouaskar, the 2009-born goalkeeper whom The Guardian included among the best emerging talents in world football. Speaking to journalist Eleonora Trotta, Tavano said his client's start to the season with Roma has struggled to take off, with just 2 appearances for the Primavera side so far. Bouaskar has also been called up to the senior Tunisia national team, despite the lack of game time at club level. Tavano said Bouaskar has played in every age group for Tunisia and that the senior call-up has now arrived. "Fa piacere che in tanti lo seguano e lo conoscano. Sicuramente lo hanno visto cimentarsi anche in nazionale tunisina, dove ha vestito la maglia di tutte le categorie. Adesso è arrivata anche la convocazione con la nazionale maggiore. Sono scelte tecniche e noi le rispettiamo. Ci resta un anno e mezzo di contratto. È un peccato, perché il suo percorso era stato netto. Ha sempre giocato in tutti i campionati. L'anno scorso sotto età ha giocato nell'Under 18 e ha permesso alla squadra di mister Scala di ottenere ottimi risultati. Sicuramente ci aspettavamo che con la promozione di mister Scala in Primavera, ci fosse continuità. Al momento non è così, ne prendiamo atto. Il ragazzo continua ad allenarsi bene e a fare tutto quello che deve fare. Ripeto, ci resta un anno e mezzo di contratto". On interest from other clubs, Tavano said it is mostly based on what scouts have seen with Roma and Tunisia. "Sicuramente, anche perché il Guardian è uno dei giornali più importanti in Europa, ma non credo sia questo a fare la differenza. Penso che, se stanno prendendo informazioni su di lui, sia soprattutto per quello che hanno visto con la Roma e con la Nazionale. Noi ripartiamo da quello. Il contratto non è lungo, ma non mancherà l'occasione di parlare con la Roma. Ripeto, sicuramente mi dispiace perché oggi i giovani dovrebbero avere più spazio e ci dovrebbero essere persone con più coraggio. Lo immaginavo già stabilmente nel giro della prima squadra e sicuramente a giocare in Primavera". Asked whether Roma's recent struggles have denied him a major shop window, Tavano spoke about the goalkeeping role in general. "Ho avuto a che fare con tanti portieri, ne ho gestiti tanti. È un ruolo un po' particolare. In questo momento, purtroppo siamo l'incudine. Speriamo che un giorno saremo il martello e che possa giocare per un club importante. Il sogno è quello di giocare nella Roma, visto che è cresciuto qui".
