Defender Aké Offered to Roma as Manchester City Exit Looms

Source: Forza Roma

Nathan Aké, a Dutch centre-back from Manchester City, has been offered to AS Roma as the midfielder enters the final stage of his contract with the Premier League club. The 1995-born defender, who has won multiple trophies under Pep Guardiola at City, is being made available to several Serie A clubs including Juventus and Inter via intermediaries. Aké's contract runs until June 2027, and his valuation stands at approximately 15 million euros.

Roma are considering the move as part of their defensive reinforcement plans under head coach Gasperini, particularly if current defenders Ndicka or Hermoso depart. While Aké represents a departure from Roma's recent transfer strategy—which has favoured young players on modest wages—he would fit well into Gasperini's three-man defensive system, given his experience playing as a left-side centre-back. Roma's planning is expected to accelerate in the coming days with the arrival of Ryan Friedkin at the club's training ground, as the organisation addresses financial fair play constraints and other strategic priorities.

No concrete negotiations are underway at present, though the club views Aké as a viable option should the defensive lineup change. His Premier League pedigree and tactical suitability represent a different profile compared to recent Roma acquisitions.

Tante le questioni - dal nuovo ds alle cessioni quasi obbligatorie per rientrare nei paletti del FFP - e si pensa così anche ai colpi per rinforzare la rosa di Gasperini. Oltre a Oosterwolde - come riporta Nicolò Schira - la Roma in difesa sta riflettendo anche sulla pista che porta a Nathan Aké. Il centrale olandese classe '95 è in uscita dal Manchester City - dopo anni di successi e trofei con Pep Guardiola - ed è stato offerto da alcuni intermediari anche a Juventus e Inter. Non si tratta di un profilo in linea con gli ultimi acquisti giallorossi (ovvero giovani e con uno stipendio relativamente basso), ma sarebbe perfetto per il terzetto difensivo di Gasp dato che è abituato a giocare da braccetto sinistro. Il suo contratto scade a giugno 2027 e la sua valutazione si aggira sui 15 milioni di euro. Non c'è ancora nulla di concreto, ma è sicuramente una pista da tenere d'occhio in caso di addio di Ndicka o Hermoso.Leggi anche Dybala, parla la moglie Oriana: “Paulo farà quello che gli dice il cuore” Dodò e non solo: in tre della Fiorentina sulla lista di Gasperini © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA

Roma Transfer Window: Soulé Likely to Depart as Gasperini Targets Greenwood

Roma face significant transfer decisions with approximately two weeks until 30 June, a crucial deadline for the club's summer market activity in relation to Financial Fair Play requirements. Matías Soulé is reportedly moving toward an exit from the club, while head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is understood to be prioritizing a move for Greenwood as a key target. The timing aligns with Roma's settlement obligations, which will shape the squad's composition and spending strategy for the coming season.

Arsenal reaches economic agreement with Koné; Roma considers his future

Arsenal has made a serious move for Roma midfielder Manu Koné, reportedly reaching an economic agreement with the French midfielder's representatives. Unlike Atlético Madrid, who made an earlier offer of around €45 million that Koné rejected, Arsenal conducted preliminary negotiations with the player's team before moving forward. The Gunners now need to agree terms with Roma, who are understood to be seeking no less than €50 million to allow the midfielder's departure. Koné is considered a central part of head coach Gasperini's technical project at Roma. However, the club could be open to selling if the right offer arrives, particularly before the June 30 deadline linked to Roma's UEFA Settlement Agreement. Resolving Koné's sale would help address the club's plusvalenze (capital gains) requirements. After the World Cup, the midfielder is expected to be considered non-transferable unless an irresistible offer emerges. Matías Soulé remains another key name on Roma's potential departures list, with Borussia Dortmund studying that possibility.

Roma's interest in Summerville faces uphill battle

AS Roma are reportedly tracking Crysencio Summerville following his goal in a World Cup opener against Japan. The winger has attracted attention after his recent performance on the international stage. Details remain unclear regarding the specifics of Roma's interest, the asking price, or the likelihood of the deal progressing. Summerville's profile has risen significantly, which may complicate any potential negotiation for the club.

Roma must strengthen their defence as well as attack

Roma's incoming sporting director Tony D'Amico will need to reinforce the defence alongside the planned attacking overhaul, with the club facing potential squad gaps depending on Ndicka's future. Although the attack is the primary focus—built around Malen and Dybala with Pellegrini in support—the defence will require significant investment. The backline was Roma's strongest asset under Gasperini's management this season, forming the foundation for Champions League qualification, but numerical reinforcement is essential. With Kumbulla set to return, Ziolkowski departing for game time, and Ndicka's status uncertain due to Financial Fair Play concerns, Roma would be left with only four senior centre-backs (Hermoso, Mancini, Ghilardi, and possibly Ndicka) for a demanding season requiring at least two players per position. That would leave two additional defenders short. Several targets have been identified. Oosterwolde is viewed as a promising profile but carries a price tag of €20–25 million, becoming viable mainly if Ndicka departs. Bologna's Lucumì, available on an expiring contract, is another option at roughly €20 million—far lower than Bologna's initial €28 million demand. Solet represents an ideal profile but costs at least €25 million and Inter are already advanced in negotiations. Muharemovic is ready to leave Sassuolo, though domestic competition is driving up his price. Gasperini has been clear that Roma needs experienced, quality defenders—both a high-level starter and a reliable backup.

Gasperini Shields Roma's Defence with Key Quartet Retained

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has signalled to AS Roma's leadership that he wants to keep the club's defensive core intact for the coming season. The four pillars of the backline—goalkeeper Mile Svilar, defenders Gianluca Mancini, Ndicka, and Hermoso—are central to Gasperini's plans as he aims to build on Roma's recent stability. Svilar is regarded as an exceptional goalkeeper whom the club cannot afford to lose. Hermoso's annual renewal clause was exercised in May, while Mancini has been secured by Gasperini and awaits a contract extension with no doubts surrounding his future. Ndicka, the final member of the quartet, has been subject to months of speculation about a potential departure, but losing a centre-back of his quality does not appeal to Gasperini. Gasperini's emphasis on defensive continuity reflects the improvements made during his tenure. Roma's defence conceded only 31 goals in the recently concluded Serie A campaign, the second-best record in the division. After an initial period of adaptation, the coach established stability at the back. By retaining this defensive foundation, Gasperini intends to push Roma even higher in the league standings. The club faces the challenge of balancing Gasperini's clear wishes to maintain squad cohesion while managing various contract situations and transfer rumours affecting the group.

Roma Appoint Tony D'Amico as Sporting Director, Target Marseille Forward

Roma have appointed Tony D'Amico as their new sporting director following the departure of Frederic Massara, who left amid a dispute with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. D'Amico and Gasperini previously worked together at Atalanta. The club has already secured Donyell Malen on a permanent deal and extended Mario Hermoso's contract as part of their summer activity. With Financial Fair Play obligations to meet, Roma's primary focus will be strengthening their attacking options. Mason Greenwood of Olympique Marseille is a key target, though his fee could reach approximately €50 million. Greenwood has scored 48 goals and provided 17 assists in 81 appearances for Marseille. Roma are also monitoring RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa and West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, though no concrete moves have been made for either. The club does not view acquiring another centre-forward as a pressing priority. Matías Soulé may be sold to a Premier League club as part of Roma's financial planning, while the club will consider offers for midfielder Manu Koné and defender Evan N'Dicka. Losing Soulé could be offset by landing a marquee forward, though Roma's willingness to spend heavily on a single player remains unclear.
