Greenwood transfer complicated by rival bids from Fenerbahce and Atletico Madrid

AS Roma's planned director of sport D'Amico has not yet been officially announced, with the announcement now expected on Monday. The delay stems from ongoing negotiations between D'Amico and Atalanta over the termination of his contract with the Bergamo club. According to reports, D'Amico is being asked to forgo some monthly payments, and Atalanta's president Luca Percassi has shown little inclination to expedite Roma's request. The slowdown has created a bureaucratic complication: Roma was unable to request a league dispensation during yesterday's League Assembly. Without such a dispensation, D'Amico cannot officially operate as director of sport until 1 July. Until then, he will lack the power to sign documents or submit formal written offers—functions currently handled by CFO Morrow. Another League Assembly in coming weeks is unlikely, meaning D'Amico will have to wait until July and Atalanta's formal clearance to assume full authority. Following his eventual announcement, he will be able to work behind the scenes and discuss player renewals, but full operational powers remain contingent on the summer date and Atalanta's approval.

Roma are pursuing Croatian midfielder Vlasic as the club seeks to reshape its attacking unit. Head coach Gasperini is interested in the player's versatility, though details of the operation's costs remain unclear. Roma's leadership is working to add talent, goals, and substance to the forward line as part of a broader transformation of the team's advanced positions. The club continues to assess midfield reinforcements to support its tactical vision.

Enzo Le Fée, the midfielder who left AS Roma after just six months, has revealed his initial reluctance to play in Italian football and what changed his mind. Speaking in an interview, Le Fée admitted: "From a young age I always said I would never play in Italy, because I did not consider the league to be at a high level because of the way teams play." However, his agent informed him that Roma wanted to sign him, and a conversation with Daniele De Rossi proved decisive. "I spoke with De Rossi and it was incredible. So I said: 'Ok, let's go'," Le Fée recalled. Le Fée's time at Roma proved difficult and ultimately short-lived. The midfielder experienced an injury setback early in his tenure and encountered instability in the coaching position. He described his struggle: "In the first match I felt cramps after 55 minutes, I was tired. In the second game I came on and injured my knee. When I returned there was another coach: I played a couple of matches, then the club took another coach and I no longer played." Le Fée has since joined Southampton in England, where he reunited with manager Régis Le Bris. His departure marks the end of a disappointing chapter for both the player and the club, with injuries and multiple managerial changes contributing to his inability to establish himself in the Roma squad.
