Serie A announces 2026–27 transfer window dates: summer opens June 29

AS Roma is seeking a new sporting director following developments at the club. Massara, the current director, is reportedly reluctant to step down, but Roma is moving forward with plans to find a replacement. This comes after the recent departure of former manager Claudio Ranieri. The club is in the process of identifying candidates for the sporting director role as it continues to reshape its leadership structure following recent managerial changes.

AS Roma has decided not to exercise the redemption clause for Bryan Zaragoza at the end of the season, according to reports. The Spanish winger, who arrived with significant expectations, will return to Bayern Munich after his loan spell. Despite the offensive challenges Roma faced during the campaign, Zaragoza failed to establish himself as a key player in the club's tactical project and will not be retained. The decision comes after an underwhelming loan period in which Zaragoza could not secure a decisive role within the squad. Roma's management chose not to pursue a permanent deal for the Spanish winger, even as injuries and gaps in the attacking department affected team performance. The redemption clause had been set at €13 million, but the club opted against activation. Although Roma will not complete the permanent transfer, the club will pay a penalty of €500,000 for declining to confirm the option. Zaragoza's departure marks the end of what was expected to be a promising addition to the Giallorossi's attacking options.

Roma is preparing for an active summer transfer window, with multiple arrivals and departures anticipated. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has expressed interest in Dodo as a potential addition to the squad. The club is laying groundwork for what promises to be a busy off-season period at Trigoria, the training ground. Details on specific targets and outgoings remain unclear at this stage, though the window is expected to bring significant squad changes as Roma continues to reshape under Gasperini's management.
