Como, Torino and Bologna tracking De Rossi as Genoa moves to secure him

Roma are actively pursuing Ruggeri, the former Atalanta defender, as they seek to strengthen their wing positions under head coach Gasperini. The club views him as part of a broader effort to refresh the lateral areas of the pitch, with Wesley alone deemed insufficient to meet the squad's needs. However, Roma face competition from Fiorentina, who have reportedly already made initial contact to test the feasibility of a deal. Ruggeri has made his intentions clear: he wishes to remain at Atlético Madrid, and the Spanish club appears unwilling to part with him. Roma nonetheless remain attentive to developments and ready to pursue the opportunity should an opening arise. Gasperini is keen to add immediate, ready-to-use players to elevate Roma's performance and compete for titles immediately. Beyond the left-back search, Roma's summer transfer activity extends across multiple positions. The club continues to monitor various targets as they work toward strengthening the squad ahead of the new season.

AS Roma is evaluating Bologna defender Lucumi as a potential replacement should Ndicka leave the club. The Colombian centre-back was on Roma's radar last summer under Massara but remained at Bologna despite interest from multiple clubs including Sunderland. Now, with his future at Bologna uncertain, Roma has renewed its focus on the player—a profile already familiar to the club's recruitment team. Lucumi's potential arrival would depend on Ndicka's departure from Trigoria. The defender impressed Roma during previous transfer discussions and represents a known quantity in the market. However, Roma faces competition for his signature. Juventus is also pursuing Lucumi, with former Roma manager Spalletti reportedly pushing strongly to bring the Colombian to Turin. The tactical push from Spalletti adds another layer to the competition for the player's services. Details remain unclear on the timeline for any potential move or the likelihood of Ndicka's departure. Lucumi's preference to remain in Italian football has made him an attractive target for multiple Serie A clubs this summer.

AS Roma has identified generating financial profit through player sales by June 30 as an absolute priority that will shape the club's summer transfer strategy. The Friedkin Group's approach reflects a focus on balancing the squad while achieving positive financial returns on player transactions. This objective will influence Roma's incoming and outgoing transfer activity in the coming months, with the deadline creating urgency around the club's market operations.
