Inter's summer overhaul targets Roma players including Koné

Fabio Paratici, Fiorentina's sporting director, has indicated the club will not block Dodô's exit if the right offer arrives. Speaking to Sky Sport, Paratici acknowledged the player's ambitions while suggesting Fiorentina will evaluate what is best for both parties. Dodô is a target for AS Roma to strengthen their right flank, and his current contract with Fiorentina runs until 30 June 2027. Roma are actively pursuing reinforcements on the flanks under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Wesley will remain on the left side, but the club seeks an established starter for the opposite flank. Dodô fits that profile and is unlikely to renew with Fiorentina, making a summer move plausible. However, Roma must complete player sales by the end of June to meet their settlement agreement obligations before formally pursuing new signings. Paratici stated: "He has legitimate ambitions. If there are requests? I won't go into specifics, but in any case, as I said, he has legitimate ambitions, just as Fiorentina does. We will evaluate what is best for both." No official offers have been tabled yet, though Roma's interest is clear as they reshape their squad for the new season.

Several Italian radio commentators debated Roma's transfer strategy and the pursuit of Mason Greenwood. Roberto Pruzzo, speaking on Radio Radio, offered a contrarian view on Greenwood's future, suggesting that Marseille should retain the forward rather than sell. Pruzzo noted: "According to me Marseille would do well to keep Greenwood. I do not rule out that Marseille, which will not play Champions League, could accept staying out of the cups for a year and not dismantle the squad, with the prospect of still being competitive, because the French league is made of teams that aim more at the transfer market in terms of sales. It is necessary to hope that the player has a say: if he decides to leave, then a solution is found." Matteo De Santis pointed out that both Roma and Marseille must sell players, but suggested Roma could leverage UEFA flexibility if they complete a big sale in early July. Meanwhile, Nando Orsi took a contrarian stance, arguing that Matías Soulé is a strong player suited to Gasperini's system and suggested spending the €50 million on Greenwood elsewhere. Orsi stated: "I would keep him [Soulé], and I would spend the 50 million of Greenwood elsewhere. Now Gasperini commands and he wants Greenwood, but these are the crazy Italian expenses where you insert a player at crazy expenses when you have at home a player that I don't say is equal but you have the certainty of knowing him." The discussion reflects ongoing debate within Roma's fanbase about the club's ambitious transfer plans under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Bryan Cristante appears set to extend his contract with AS Roma, keeping the midfielder at the club. However, the transfer market may yet bring unexpected developments in the coming weeks. Roma's midfield anchor looks positioned to continue his stay in the Giallorossi colours, though the club remains active in the market and could pursue further squad adjustments if opportunities arise.

AS Roma right-back Celik is on the verge of signing a contract extension through 2029, with negotiations between the club's director and his representative progressing steadily. An agreement is expected in the coming days, though minor financial differences remain to be resolved. Celik, currently on international duty, is set to earn just under 3 million euros per season under the new terms. Director D'Amico is simultaneously managing renewals for two other key players: Lorenzo Pellegrini and Paulo Dybala. Pellegrini's extension is described as a matter of days away, with talks intensifying and a two-year deal reportedly ready for signature. Dybala awaits Roma's response to a counter-proposal he submitted earlier. Head coach Gasperini requested the retention of his trusted players before the club shifts focus to summer transfer targets in July. Roma's primary transfer objective remains Mason Greenwood, though Marseille continues to block a move and is seeking approximately 50 million euros plus bonuses. The resolution of these renewal negotiations is expected to clear the way for the club's incoming recruitment strategy.

AS Roma is preparing for a decisive meeting with Lorenzo Pellegrini's representatives to negotiate a contract extension. The talks are expected to take place in the coming days, with both sides expressing a shared desire to continue working together. New sporting director Tony D'Amico has reinvigorated negotiations, which had stalled as Pellegrini came close to leaving the club during the previous three transfer windows. Pellegrini is aware of Roma's need to reduce wage costs and has signaled willingness to accept reduced terms. Roma's proposal centers on a fixed annual salary of approximately €3 million plus performance-based bonuses tied to individual and team objectives, down from his current €6.5 million net plus bonuses. Beyond finances, Pellegrini wants clarity on his role within the squad that head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is building. Gasperini has emerged as one of Pellegrini's strongest advocates, consistently praising him as an exemplary professional. The coach previously stated he sees in Pellegrini "very high potential," expecting him to become "an athlete and player of high level." After two difficult seasons, Pellegrini has recovered with strong performances, re-establishing himself as a locker-room leader. Roma is working to find the right formula for an agreement, with Gasperini continuing to push for his retention. The foundations for a deal are in place, and upcoming negotiations could bring the renewal closer to completion.

Gian Piero Gasperini will be the oldest head coach in Serie A next season as the league's average coaching age drops to 49.2 years—down from 51.7 four years earlier. Several clubs have appointed younger or less established managers, including Aquilani (Sassuolo), Abate (Torino), Tedesco (Bologna), and Rubén Amorim (Milan). Roma has chosen to maintain continuity with Gasperini, who left Atalanta Bergamo convinced he can achieve significant success at the capital club. Gasperini has declared he will give himself three years to accomplish something major at Roma and believes the club can compete for the title with proper investment. His appointment represents a contrasting strategy in a league increasingly turning to younger, less proven coaches. The signing of new sporting director D'Amico reunites a partnership that achieved excellent results at Bergamo. D'Amico will have until 30 June to manage player sales required by financial fair play regulations and negotiate contract renewals for Paulo Dybala, Çetin Çelik, and Lorenzo Pellegrini—all strongly requested by Gasperini. Following that deadline, the focus will shift to inbound transfers, with the goal of building a squad matching Gasperini's ambitions and hunger for results.

Roma has been fined €6 million by UEFA for failing to meet an intermediate target under its financial sustainability settlement agreement. However, the club views this positively, as UEFA has evaluated Roma's progress in recent years favorably. The Friedkin Group had already budgeted for the fine. The key development is increased financial flexibility—Roma may now reach its €50 million sale target by 30 June with greater room for negotiation, potentially stopping at around €40 million without severe consequences. This represents a shift from stricter UEFA oversight. Two players dominate the exit discussions: Matías Soulé and Manu Koné. Both have the highest market valuations on the squad outside Mile Svilar, who is considered unsellable. Soulé carries a valuation near €40 million and has interest from German, Spanish, and Premier League clubs, though concrete offers remain absent. Koné is valued at approximately €50 million, and Arsenal is monitoring the French midfielder closely with reportedly a preliminary agreement between parties. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini would prefer to sell Soulé rather than Koné, though this is driven by financial necessity rather than personal preference. Other minor sales from players including Baldanzi and Angelino will contribute to reaching the required figure.

Roma has been fined by UEFA, though specific details of the offence and penalty amount remain unclear. In contract news, defender Celik's renewal with the club is advancing toward completion. Goalkeeper Mile Svilar continues to attract significant interest from multiple European clubs, reflecting his strong performances and potential market value. The goalkeeper's situation may become a focal point for Roma's summer planning if top-tier offers materialise.

AS Roma is actively searching for a backup goalkeeper to support Mile Svilar. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants a young option behind the club's first-choice stopper, and Roma have identified Diego Mascardi, a 2006-born goalkeeper at Spezia, as their target. Spezia value the youngster at approximately €2 million plus performance-related bonuses, but Roma face competition from Torino, who recently attempted to complete a deal for the player. Napoli had also inquired about Mascardi a year ago but are no longer actively pursuing him. Vasquez has returned from his loan spell at Besiktas but has not convinced Gasperini, prompting the club's search for reinforcement in the goalkeeper position. Roma will attempt to move quickly to beat Torino's interest and bring another goalkeeper option to the manager before the transfer window closes. The club hopes to finalize the signing soon and provide Gasperini with additional depth in goal.
