Gasperini seeks urgent meeting with Friedkin over financial fair play concerns

Source: Forza Roma

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has requested an urgent meeting with the Friedkin Group to discuss Roma's financial constraints as the club navigates UEFA Fair Play regulations ahead of the June 30 deadline. Gasperini wants clarity on the club's transfer budget and which key players may need to be sold to comply with financial rules. The technical staff is also studying ways to reduce the payroll target from the initially planned 80–85 million euros, potentially by 25–30 million euros, bringing it below 60 million to better utilize UEFA's permitted flexibility.

The coming weeks are critical for Roma's planning. Gasperini needs to understand how the incoming director of sport—with candidates including D'Amico and Manna among others—will operate in the transfer market. Beyond financial matters, the club must also address the departure of Massara and find his replacement, with Giuntoli and Paratici mentioned as possibilities, though D'Amico, Manna, and Sogliano remain the primary targets. The coach has made clear his preferences, but the final decision rests with ownership.

Meanwhile, Morrow, Roma's financial officer at Trigoria, is developing a plan to reduce spending figures while respecting UEFA's restrictions. The strategy aims to maximize the allowance for flexibility that UEFA grants based on behavior in preceding years. Roma also awaits the arrival of Ryan, with the expectation that this could materialize soon.

Da una parte c'è una stagione da finire, dall'altra c'è quella da programmare. E a preoccupare il tecnico c'è la solita questione legata al Fair Play Finanziario. Il 30 giugno si avvicina e in cima alla lista degli argomenti da trattare con i Friedkin c'è proprio quello. Gasp vuole capire meglio come potrà operare sul mercato il futuro ds (D'amico e Manna in pole) e soprattutto quanti big dovranno salutare. Per questo ha chiesto con urgenza un vertice con i Friedkin. A Roma si attende Ryan, da domani ogni giorno può essere quello buono. Nel frattempo a Trigoria Morrow - l'uomo dei conti a Trigoria - sta studiando un piano per abbassare la cifra per rispettare i paletti imposti dalla Uefa. È probabile che diventi inferiore agli 80-85 milioni previsti. E ridotta, se possibile, di almeno 25-30 milioni, scendendo sotto i 60.⁠ ⁠L'obiettivo è sfruttare la quota di permissività, concessa dall'Uefa che valuterà il comportamento negli anni precedenti. Sono settimane importanti per il futuro della Roma e Gasperini vuole vederci chiaro. Poi si parlerà anche del sostituto di Massara che ormai è sul punto di andare via. Giuntoli e Paratici sono più lontani ma ancora da non scartare, fari puntati anche su D'Amico, Manna e Sogliano. Sono tutti profili graditi al tecnico, ma la decisione finale spetterà alla proprietà.

Radio commentary: Torri says Roma is behind schedule, Friedkin ownership navigating without clear direction

Italian radio commentators have voiced concern about Roma's direction under the Friedkin Group ownership. Piero Torri of Radio Manà Manà stated: "I believe we are behind schedule. This ownership navigates without direction. The Ranieri-Gasperini-Massara trio lasted essentially two months, then in practice ten. I hope things are done well: Roma needs to be more of a football club. I see an empty Roma. Roma is already behind schedule, in two months the next season begins. The risk of facing disappointments is concrete." Former striker Roberto Pruzzo commented on Roma's strikeforce, noting the club has three centre-forwards and expressing hope that Dovbyk finds a new opportunity elsewhere. He believes Roma could strengthen by acquiring two new starting-level forwards to make a quality leap. Lorenzo Pes added that Dovbyk represented one of the most misguided investments in recent years, while also discussing Paulo Dybala's potential future at Boca Juniors or his willingness to remain in Rome if circumstances allow. The commentary reflects broader anxiety among Roma observers about the club's management structure and transfer planning as the new season approaches. The frequent managerial changes and perceived lack of coherent strategy have intensified doubts about whether the current ownership can deliver sustained sporting success.
