Rome official calls for evening Derby della Capitale on Monday, urges zero tolerance for stadium violence

Source: Forza Roma

Alessandro Onorato, Rome's assessor for major events, sports, tourism and fashion, has called for the Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio to be played on Monday evening, ideally at 21:00. Speaking at the Piazza di Siena equestrian event, Onorato addressed scheduling conflicts with the Italian Open tennis final and emphasized that the city can manage simultaneous major sporting events.

Onorato stressed that Roma should not fear hosting an evening derby due to security concerns. He stated: "Rome has demonstrated it can manage any event simultaneously, we are not afraid for the Italian Open final and the derby. Logic would suggest one day for the final and the next day for the derby. If the derby is moved to Monday, let it be at 21:00 to allow everyone who works to return home or go to the stadium. In Rome we must not be afraid to play an evening derby because of possible incidents; it is time that whoever thinks of going to the stadium to cause clashes is assured of justice. We expect very clear words from the Government on this."

Onorato's comments reflect broader discussions about fixture scheduling in Rome's packed sporting calendar and a hardline stance on preventing ultras-related violence at the Stadio Olimpico. The exact date and kickoff time for the derby remain subject to confirmation.

La finale degli Internazionali si sapeva da anni, è giunta l’ora che i calendari vengano fatti incastrando sport che ormai non sono più secondari". Queste le prime parole di Onorato che poi prosegue entrando nel merito del derby: "Logica vorrebbe che un giorno si faccia la finale e quello dopo si giochi il derby. Se si dovesse spostare a lunedì il derby, che si faccia alle 21.00 per dare la possibilità a tutti coloro che lavorano di poter tornare a casa o di andare allo stadio.

Greenwood commits to Roma after talks with Gasperini; Koné's Premier move distant; Engels eyed

Mason Greenwood, the Marseille attacker, has reportedly agreed to join AS Roma following direct conversations with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini three weeks ago. The Friedkin Group is in negotiations with Marseille owner McCourt, with an offer of €40 million plus bonuses expected to be tabled in the coming week. Greenwood's father, Andrew, who acts as his agent, was present during the initial talks with Gasperini. The player has rejected interest from Fenerbahce to pursue the Roma move. Gasperini is also searching for a physically dominant midfielder with strong tactical awareness, with Freuler and Kessié identified as targets available on free transfers. Regarding other transfer activity, Aurélien Koné's prospects of joining a Premier League club are receding, with Arsenal's interest cooling while Chelsea focuses elsewhere. Roma continue to monitor Engels from Celtic, valued at €20–25 million. In separate Roma news, El Shaarawy was recently married, with several Roma players including Mancini and Cristante attending the wedding. Key developments are expected in the coming week as the Greenwood negotiations intensify. The transfer window remains active for the club as Gasperini shapes his squad for the new season.
