Cherubini's Sampdoria loan and potential return to Roma

Source: Forza Roma

Luigi Cherubini, a left winger from Roma's academy, is being evaluated for a potential return to the club after a productive loan spell at Sampdoria. The 2004-born player made 35 appearances for the Serie B side this season, recording 2 goals and 2 assists. He is currently on a straight loan with no buyout clause, meaning Roma retains full control of his future. Cherubini debuted for Roma under José Mourinho in 2023 and previously had a successful spell at Carrarese before moving to Sampdoria.

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is reportedly keen to assess Cherubini during pre-season training, having previously appreciated his performances in friendly matches. Roma's leadership is satisfied with the development path the winger has taken during his loan period. The club is considering giving him an opportunity to compete for a place in Gasperini's squad as part of its strategy to integrate academy-trained players, a move increasingly important under updated UEFA regulations.

Mourinho recalled Cherubini's debut warmly, saying: "I see someone who runs towards me, who hugs me. It's Cherubini, another who arrived very small here, certainly today San Basilio is celebrating because a son of San Basilio has debuted at Roma." With strong performances at Carrarese and Sampdoria now complete, Cherubini may be ready for his next step at the Giallorossi.

E tra i giovani mandati a giocare altrove è l'unico che potrebbe rientrare alla base e lavorare con Gasperini. Stiamo parlando di Luigi Cherubini, impegnato ora nell'ultima giornata del campionato di serie B in cui la Samp si gioca residue speranze di play off. Nel frattempo però i numeri recitano 35 presenze con 2 gol e 2 assist. La Roma è soddisfatta del percorso fatto dall'ala sinistra di San Basilio e ora sta valutando di metterlo a disposizione in ritiro per Gasperini che peraltro lo aveva già apprezzato e utilizzato nelle amichevoli dello scorso anno. Cherubini è infatti in prestito secco a Genova e non ci sono clausole di riscatto. Il classe 2004 esordì con Mourinho nel 2023. "Vedo uno che corre da me, che mi abbraccia.È Cherubini, un altro che è arrivato piccolino piccolino qui, sicuro oggi San Basilio è in festa perché un figlio di San Basilio ha debuttato nella Roma" raccontò lo Special One. Dopo una buona stagione alla Carrarese e quella che sta per finire alla Samp potrebbe essere il momento del grande salto. Anche perché con le nuove norme Uefa serviranno anche calciatori cresciuti nel vivaio.Leggi anche Roma, Gasperini e un poker per l’ala sinistra: Summerville, Tzolis, Tel e Nusa Rivero, dai biscotti ai semafori alla Nazionale: chi è il centrale che piace alla Roma © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA

Massara set for Marseille move; El Shaarawy injury concerns ahead of Parma clash; Roma eye Lautaro Rivero

Roma sporting director Massara appears set to leave the club and join Ligue 1 side Marseille. Federico Balzaretti, a former Roma player now serving as Marseille's vice sporting director, reportedly suggested Massara's name to the French club. An initial conversation between Massara and Benatia has already taken place, and Massara is understood to be interested in the move. Roma is now searching for a replacement sporting director, with Mannaresta in pole position. Other candidates under consideration include Giuntoli, Pradè, and D'Amico. On the pitch, Roma trained ahead of a crucial away match against Parma in two days. However, El Shaarawy sustained an injury during training and is now a doubt for the trip to Emilia. Lorenzo Pellegrini remains unavailable, continuing individual work away from the squad and unlikely to feature. The club continues to pursue defensive reinforcements in the transfer market, with young Argentine centre-back Lautaro Rivero from River Plate emerging as a target. Alajbegovic is also being monitored for potential future moves. Gasperini will hold a press conference tomorrow. Confirmation has also arrived regarding Roma's new second kit for the 2026–27 season.
