ASR Top 11 #2 – The Ideal XI of Foreign Legends Bewitched by the She-Wolf

AS Roma's structural reorganisation has claimed two more departures, with Gianmarco Migliorati and Roberto Vichi leaving Trigoria. The club also reached a mutual termination with Simone Ricchio, who held the position of team manager in the sporting director's office after arriving alongside former director of football Ghisolfi. The departures form part of a wider reshuffle at the Giallorossi. Frara has already left the Frosinone staff, signalling further changes across the organisation. The club has also confirmed Mattia Scala as the new Primavera coach, replacing Guidi, who retained another year on his previous contract. Scala has signed a two-year deal with an option for a further season. Gaetano D'Agostino, a former Roma player, will serve as Scala's assistant. The club has also renewed the contract of young talent Guaglianone, continuing efforts to secure promising academy prospects.

Roma are preparing to announce three contract renewals in quick succession. Gianluca Mancini will extend his deal until 2029 on 3.5 million euros net per year. Zeki Çelik and Paulo Dybala are at the document exchange stage: the Turkish defender will earn 3 million euros net annually through 2029, while Dybala will sign a one-season contract with an option until 2028 worth 2.5 million euros plus bonuses. Director D'Amico has accelerated the renewal process across multiple fronts. Lorenzo Pellegrini, formally out of contract since the start of the month, faces a different timeline—there remains economic and contractual distance between the club and the captain, and he will not begin pre-season immediately as he recovers from a late-season setback. Bryan Cristante's new contract remains on hold. According to Simone Valdarchi in the Corriere della Sera, the Mancini, Çelik, and Dybala announcements are expected soon. Pellegrini's situation is more complex; talks are ongoing and a resolution will be found, but the number 7's delayed return to training reflects both the ongoing negotiations and his need for recovery time.

Roma's planned new stadium has received a positive environmental assessment from the Regional Urban Planning Department, removing one of the final significant obstacles to construction. The regional authority found no landscape protection restrictions on the Pietralata site and approved the project's definitive design, stating it had "no further critical issues" to raise in its environmental impact evaluation. The decision directly addresses longstanding opposition centred on a wooded area at the site. The Regional Urban Planning Department confirmed that any forest value has been accounted for in compensation plans, and Roma's project includes sufficient offsets for trees removed during archaeological excavations and stadium construction. Compensations will occur in the Aguzzano regional urban park and Pietralata area, particularly Amoretti park. The authority noted that wooded areas identified "are transformable only if the exemption provided by regulations is applicable by virtue of the public interest of the intervention and national strategic interest." The ruling comes days after a Rome civil court ordered a Pietralata resident to pay damages exceeding €313,000 to the municipality for unauthorised occupation of land in the area, plus legal costs. Roma's acquisition of the Pietralata site and removal of informal settlements have faced sustained legal challenges. The environmental approval strengthens the club's position as it moves toward final construction clearances.
