Gasperini charts Roma's transfer market strategy; Summerville and Tzolis among targets

Boca Juniors have not abandoned their interest in Paulo Dybala. Rodolfo Arruabarrena, the club's newly appointed coach, has made direct contact with the Roma forward to explain the technical project and stress that Boca want him at any cost. However, Dybala remains focused on extending his contract with Roma for the time being, though negotiations have not yet reached agreement. Roma have tabled a renewal offer worth 2 million euros per season plus 60,000 euros per appearance of 45 minutes or more. Dybala has countered with his own proposal: 3 million euros annually with a lower performance bonus, or alternatively 2 million euros plus 60,000 euros per appearance regardless of playing time. The two sides are expected to resume talks in the coming days, with Roma's negotiator D'Amico now fully operational following an exemption that was granted two days prior.

Roma's transfer focus remains on Mason Greenwood as their primary target, with other pursuits taking a back seat. The club has been linked with Dodô, Fiorentina's Brazilian winger, but no active negotiations are underway. Napoli are also interested in the player, and the deal has not gained momentum at present. Roma's immediate priority is completing player sales rather than pursuing new signings. The club is awaiting offers for two key squad members: midfielder Koné and forward Matías Soulé. Multiple top European clubs have expressed interest in these players. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Atlético Madrid are tracking Koné, while Borussia Dortmund has shown interest in Soulé. Roma's sporting director is focused on securing departures before proceeding with further recruitment plans. Until concrete offers arrive for either Koné or Soulé, Roma's transfer department will remain in a holding pattern on other targets. The club's strategy reflects a shift toward generating funds through sales rather than immediate spending.

Transfer activity across Serie A continues with Paulo Dybala's contract renewal talks at Roma drawing interest from Juventus and Como. Trabzonspor are reportedly pursuing striker Dovbyk. Roma have identified Moreira as a target for their squad, though details remain unclear on the player's current club or the nature of Roma's interest. The transfer window activity reflects ongoing squad adjustments as clubs pursue their summer targets.
