Conte Heading for Napoli Exit, with Italy Role and Roma 'Temptation' Among Possible Next Steps

Source: Forza Roma

Antonio Conte appears increasingly likely to leave Napoli after two seasons, despite having one year remaining on his contract with club president De Laurentiis. The separation is viewed as mutually acceptable. Conte has attracted attention as a candidate for the Italy national team role, but his desire to move on stems partly from a shift in vision regarding the Napoli project that no longer aligns with his approach. The accomplished manager, who has won five Serie A titles and is the only coach to win the championship with three different clubs, follows a career pattern of arriving, winning, and departing.

Roma emerges as a potential destination amid uncertainty about the club's managerial future. Ivan Gasperini's position at Roma remains unclear, with the Friedkin ownership taking time on their decision. If Gasperini does not feel adequately supported, Roma would need a replacement. Multiple names circulate as potential successors, including Pioli, De Rossi, and Thiago Motta. The situation carries significant tension, described as a pressure-cooker environment where only one manager will ultimately remain. De Laurentiis had previously contacted other high-profile managers before Conte's arrival, names that also interest Roma's leadership, including Milan-linked Allegri.

Conte verso l’addio al Napoli, dalla Nazionale alla “tentazione” Roma: gli scenari - Forzaroma.info Forzaroma.infoI migliori video scelti dal nostro canaleforzaroma rassegna stampa roma il corriere della sera Conte verso l’addio al Napoli, dalla Nazionale alla “tentazione” Roma: gli scenariIl Corriere della SeraConte verso l’addio al Napoli, dalla Nazionale alla “tentazione” Roma: gli scenariGetty ImagesIl tecnico salentino ha un piede sempre più fuori da Castelvolturno e si può aprire la corsa anche in Serie A, oltre all'Italia: i giallorossi possono essere una tentazione Redazione 23 aprile 2026 (modifica il 23 aprile 2026 | 09:35) Cinque scudetti in bacheca, l’unico allenatore a vincere il tricolore con tre squadre diverse. Ne ha di skills, Conte, e il mondo del pallone gliele riconosce tutte. Come sempre gli è accaduto in carriera, Antonio arriva, vince e va. Succederà (dopo 2 anni) con molta probabilità anche a Napoli. C'è ancora un anno di contratto che lo lega al club di De Laurentiis ma l’idea di separarsi è finanche condivisa. Il richiamo della Nazionale è forte per il tecnico leccese: ci è già stato e sa di poter essere fra i candidati, ma non è soltanto questo ad agitare le sue notti. C'è una visione del progetto Napoli che dopo due stagioni non è più nelle sue corde. Conte fra Nazionale e nuove sfide in serie A un piede fuori ce l’ha. E si guarda attorno. Ad esempio il 'Corriere della Sera' apre alcuni scenari (o - nel caso dei giallorossi - tentazioni) per lui: a Roma resterà Gasperini? Al Milan Allegri è veramente blindato? Nomi questi ultimi che sono anche nella testa dello stesso De Laurentiis, li aveva contattati prima ancora che arrivasse Conte. A Roma il clima è pronto a esplodere, modello pentola a pressione: fra Gasperini e Ranieri ne resterà soltanto uno come nella sfida degli Highlander. I Friedkin prendono tempo ma qualora Gasp non si sentisse tutelato, chi al suo posto? Si sprecano i nomi dei successori da Pioli al ritorno dell’enfant prodige De Rossi passando per Thiago Motta.Leggi anche Mercato, ritiro, tournée: la Roma è in stand by Roma-Dybala, rinnovo lontano.

Roma to face Cannes in July friendly; Greenwood pursuit continues amid financial planning

Roma have confirmed a pre-season friendly against Cannes on 26 July at home. Both clubs are owned by the Friedkin Group. The Giallorossi declined a proposed friendly at Newcastle's St James' Park but will face Borussia Dortmund on 15 August, a week before Serie A begins. Coach Gasperini's squad is taking shape ahead of the new campaign. In the transfer market, Roma continue to monitor Mason Greenwood's situation. The English forward will leave Marseille, and Fenerbahçe remain interested despite their recent election result. The club's new president, Aziz Yildirim, stated: "If Greenwood will be useful to us, we will take him. We will review the squad construction with our committee and make a decision." The Friedkin Group is also considering extending Roma's financial settlement agreement to manage fair play compliance. Additionally, Roma are following developments around Aseko and Favasuli in the market. Midfielder Robinio Vaz, born in 2007, may leave on loan, with Roma open to discussions. Details on other targets remain unclear at this stage.

Roma Continue to Track Aseko as Eintracht Frankfurt Move In

Roma remain interested in signing Noel Aseko, a 2005-born German midfielder and attacking midfielder, amid competition from several European clubs. The 18-year-old impressed during the 2024–25 Bundesliga 2 season with Hannover 96, recording 3 goals and 6 assists. Eintracht Frankfurt have shown strong interest, with sporting director Markus Krösche reportedly already offering Aseko a four-year contract with an option extending to 2031. Bayern Munich have exercised their buyback clause and will reacquire the midfielder in the coming days. However, Bayern's limited immediate prospect of regular playing time under their coaching staff means a departure remains probable. Roma are monitoring the situation closely and may accelerate their pursuit if significant departures occur in midfield. The Giallorossi form part of a broader recruitment strategy to strengthen the squad across multiple positions during the summer window. Aseko's market valuation stands in the region of 10–12 million euros. His combination of athleticism, creative passing, and goalscoring ability has caught the attention of elite clubs across Europe. Roma's interest reflects the club's focus on acquiring young talent with significant upside potential for the seasons ahead.
