Dybala Will Not Accept Roma Contract Renewal, Report Claims

Inter's sporting director Piero Ausilio has publicly dismissed any interest in signing Niccolò Pisilli from AS Roma. Speaking at the official opening of the summer transfer market in Rimini, Ausilio stated: "Beyond the enormous respect I have for this boy, I can safely, without risk of being contradicted, say there is no interest. But for a logic of role, not because there isn't respect or consideration for this boy — he is one of the best young players we have in Italy and will certainly do very well — but let's say that in the coming days we are working on other things, not on this type of role." Pisilli, a 2004-born midfielder at Roma, had been linked with Inter as the transfer window opened. Ausilio's comments effectively end speculation about a potential move, emphasizing that Inter's priorities lie elsewhere. The director confirmed that Inter will sign two defenders in the current market, focusing their recruitment efforts on defensive reinforcements rather than midfield acquisitions. Pisilli expressed enthusiasm about Roma's participation in the Champions League under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, stating it represents a great honour and that he has long followed the coach's work.

Matías Soulé has turned down lucrative offers from three Saudi Pro League clubs—Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, and newly promoted Al-Diriyah—despite receiving a combined proposal worth approximately €35 million plus annual wages around €10 million. The 18-year-old Argentine appears set to remain at Roma beyond the 30 June deadline, but the club continues to push for his departure to meet financial settlement agreement requirements. Roma faces potential UEFA sanctions in November 2027–28 if it fails to generate significant player sales by the deadline. Penalties could include a fine of €10–12 million and potential squad limitations. Soulé's contract includes clauses benefiting Juventus (10% of any future resale) and the player himself (4% of Roma's profit). Roma would accept €35 million plus performance bonuses to secure a capital gain and reinvest the funds, though discussions with UEFA about a financial correction plan remain possible if the deadline is missed. Separately, Roma will submit its first formal offer for Mason Greenwood to Olympique Marseille soon, with a formal proposal expected following the weekend. The club continues working to move out young players, with several linked to other Serie A sides.

Matías Soulé appears set to reject an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli, despite Roma's desire to sell him. Al Ahli attempted to persuade the 23-year-old Argentine without submitting an official bid to Roma. Soulé has expressed reluctance to move to a second-tier league at this stage of his career and would have preferred a move to Germany, but neither Borussia Dortmund nor Stuttgart have matched Roma's €40 million asking price. RB Leipzig also inquired without making a firm approach. With the June 30 transfer deadline approaching, Soulé is likely to remain at Roma beyond that date, though the club continues to seek his departure. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has reportedly informed Roma's management that Soulé is not among the untouchable players in the squad, particularly with incoming signing Greenwood occupying a similar role. Roma would accept €35 million plus add-ons to generate profit and reinvest funds elsewhere. Paulo Dybala is also close to leaving the club. Roma's management awaits offers that are expected to arrive after the June 30 deadline. Soulé's departure remains probable but is unlikely to be to Saudi Arabia, with German clubs potentially returning with serious proposals in the coming transfer window.

Zeki Celik is close to signing a new three-year contract with AS Roma following Turkey's elimination from the World Cup at the group stage. The club and player have reached an agreement in principle, with an announcement expected in the coming days. However, Celik will not be Gasperini's starting right-back. The head coach has requested reinforcement on the right flank and views Celik as a versatile option who can operate on either wing or as a right centre-back to rotate with Gianluca Mancini. Gasperini's primary target for the right-back position is a younger profile than Molina, who is considered a secondary option at 28 years old. Dodô is not being pursued, as Roma has not made any formal approach for the player. On the left side, Wesley remains a key part of the plans after rejecting Chelsea and is ready for the upcoming season. Ruggeri is not a target for Roma. The club will seek an alternative to Wesley on the left, with Angeliño expected to depart. Roma continues to work on contract extensions for key players, with Celik's renewal progressing alongside talks with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini regarding their own deals.
