Former Italian striker Pasquale Luiso rejected Roma approach, unwilling to play fourth-choice striker

AS Roma is searching for a new sporting director following Claudio Ranieri's departure, with Raffaele Manna—currently at Napoli—emerging as the club's preferred candidate. Other names under consideration include Giuntoli, D'Amico, Paratici, and Sogliano. The Friedkin Group is expected to focus its search domestically rather than abroad. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has already begun planning Roma's roster for next season, considering renewals, player retentions, and potential departures. Ricky Massara's future at the club appears uncertain in light of Ranieri's exit. Ranieri's departure will also influence decisions regarding Roma's youth academy. Bruno Conti's future remains undecided, while the anticipated signing of Massimo Tarantino has not yet been finalized. CFO Jason Morrow is handling the details of Tarantino's deal. On the playing side, defender Çelik is not currently dealing with any injuries. Roma are exploring the possibility of signing Dodò as a summer replacement option. Regarding players departing, Zaragoza is expected to return to Bayern Munich.

Daniele De Rossi, the former Roma captain and head coach, is gaining prominence at Genoa, where the club is working to tie him down to a longer-term agreement. Multiple Serie A sides—Como, Torino, and Bologna—are reportedly monitoring his situation as his stock rises following his work with the Rossoblu. De Rossi was dismissed by Roma's ownership in 2025 after just four matches in charge. His success at Genoa has attracted attention from rival clubs, but the Liguria outfit is keen to prevent any departure and lock in their manager's future.

The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has officially confirmed the dates for the summer transfer window for the upcoming season, starting earlier than in previous years. The federation's board met in Rome to establish these new timelines. The earlier start to the transfer window could affect AS Roma's ability to bring in new players before the preseason campaign begins, potentially giving the club and other Serie A sides more time to complete deals and integrate signings into their squads ahead of competitive fixtures.
