Atalanta open door to D'Amico departure amid Roma interest

Source: Forza Roma

Atalanta CEO Luca Percassi has signalled openness to sporting director Tony D'Amico leaving the club. Speaking to Sky Sport, Percassi said: "As with many of our players, it is normal that he too could be courted. Two matches remain, our relationship could also come to an end but the esteem we have for him will not finish." D'Amico has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Massara in Roma's sporting director role in recent weeks, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini reportedly keen to reunite with the director, having previously worked together at Atalanta.

Roma have been actively pursuing D'Amico as interest in alternative target Giovanni Manna cools. Gasperini's preference to work with D'Amico again reflects their successful previous collaboration at Atalanta. Should D'Amico depart, Percassi indicated the club will seek a replacement of equivalent stature, mentioning that Giuntoli represents one of Italy's best football directors and developed his career through lower divisions.

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.

Roma continues to pursue Celtic midfielder Engels; valued at €20–25 million

AS Roma remain active in the transfer market with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini seeking to strengthen the midfield. The club is following Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, a 22-year-old Belgian player whom Gasperini had previously targeted during his time at Atalanta. Celtic value Engels in the region of €20–25 million, though the player is attracting interest from multiple Premier League clubs as well. Gasperini has identified midfield reinforcement as a priority alongside the ongoing pursuit of Mason Greenwood, who has reportedly decided to join Roma. Engels would represent another option to bolster the central midfield, with alternative targets including Freuler and Kessié also on Roma's radar. The competition from English clubs may complicate negotiations for Engels, but Roma's interest remains firm as the summer transfer window continues.
