Angeliño: A Romanista for Ever

Roma's pursuit of Brazilian forward Endrick has become significantly more complicated. Despite the club's interest shown in recent weeks, the young attacker now appears set to continue his season away from Serie A. Real Madrid have decided to loan Endrick out, but have opted to send him to the Premier League rather than Serie A, effectively closing the door on Roma's interest. The decision blocks Roma's path to securing an attacking reinforcement for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The club must now look elsewhere for the forward they hoped to bring in. According to journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon, writing for RadioMarca and LaGalerna, the Premier League destination chosen by Madrid's hierarchy has left Roma's management forced to redirect their search for an offensive option to strengthen the squad.

Roma's pursuit of Endrick has stalled, with Real Madrid opting to send the Brazilian talent on loan to the Premier League rather than Italy. According to RadioMarca and LaGalerna, the Spanish club have decided against a move to the Giallorossi, closing the door on a transfer that had been on Roma's radar for several weeks. The development represents another setback in Roma's attempts to strengthen their attacking options this summer. The club will now need to redirect their recruitment efforts elsewhere as Endrick remains out of reach. Real Madrid's preference for a Premier League destination over a Serie A move underlines the competitive landscape for loan placements at elite level.

Mile Svilar has expressed his ambition to play at some of Europe's biggest stadiums with Roma in the Champions League. Speaking on Radio Romanista, the goalkeeper revealed he has never visited the Bernabéu as a professional and has also never appeared at Dortmund's ground or Paris Saint-Germain's Parc des Princes. Svilar stressed the importance of Roma starting the 2026-27 season strongly in Serie A before the club's European campaign begins. He noted that fine margins often decide final positions, observing that in each of his last two seasons Roma missed Champions League qualification by just one or two points from Juventus and Milan. "We must aim to finish in the top eight and then play in the play-offs," he said. "Before we see who we'll play in the Champions League, we must first start the season well in Serie A." The goalkeeper expressed particular enthusiasm about the prospect of playing at the Bernabéu, saying: "For me at the Bernabéu, just for the experience of the stadium. But it would also be beautiful at the Olimpico!" He added that Roma will travel to Dortmund within ten days. Svilar believes matches against elite European opponents offer valuable learning opportunities and are enjoyable contests to play in.

Roma launched their new away kit for the 2026-27 season on 7 August, returning to white as the primary colour. The second shirt features a horizontal giallorossi band across the chest, with the interlocking 'ASR' crest from 1938 at its centre. In transfer news, Angeliño has completed his move to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruña, officially confirmed on 6 August. The defender, who had been part of Roma's squad, bade farewell to supporters on social media following the announcement of his departure.

Lorenzo Pellegrini has agreed a contract extension with Roma, with an annual renewal expected to be signed in the coming days. The midfielder rejected overtures from Juventus and Galatasaray in recent weeks, choosing to remain a giallorosso. Roma unveiled its away kit for the 2026–27 season this morning, featuring a warm white base crossed by a yellow and red band across the chest. The historic club crest, last widely used in 1946–47, is positioned at the centre of the band, with the adidas Trefoil logo in red above it. The reverse of the collar bears the inscription "Roma chiamò" ("Rome called"), a tribute to the Campo Testaccio anthem and the club's bond with supporters. ROM continues to reshape its left flank following Angeliño's departure. The club is pursuing Alessio Cacciamani from Torino as a left-winger to develop behind Wesley. Torino have raised their asking price to approximately €20 million across fixed fee and bonuses; Roma has offered €12–13 million and awaits movement from the Italian club. Separately, Antonio Nusa has forcefully dismissed market speculation linking him elsewhere, reaffirming his commitment to RB Leipzig: "I never asked to leave Leipzig. There are always rumours, they can write what they want. I was on holiday, now I'm here at Leipzig."

Angeliño has officially left AS Roma after a difficult season, returning to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruña. The left-back shared a farewell message on Instagram, reflecting on his time in the Giallorossi colours and thanking the club, staff, and supporters. The Spanish defender expressed his gratitude for the experience at the Olimpico: "It was an honour to wear this shirt and defend the Giallorossi colours. From day one I felt part of a great and welcoming family, and playing every match at the Olimpico is a privilege I will always remember with affection. Leaving Rome is never easy and a part of me will always stay here." He extended his appreciation to the wider Roma organization and the fanbase, stating: "Thanks to the club, the coaching staff and all the people who work for this club, but especially thanks to the fans for making me feel one of you. The memory of the warmth of the Olimpico will remain indelible." Angeliño's departure concludes a challenging campaign at Roma. The Friedkin Group–owned club will now focus on alternative options at left-back as preparations continue for the 2026-27 season.
