Gasperini has clear ideas: Roma's defence will not be touched

Italy's Under-17 side won the European championship after an intense final against Belgium. The match went to a penalty shootout following a dramatic finish: Ojea gave Italy the lead in the 85th minute, but Belgium equalized from the penalty spot in the 90th+4 minute through Fugazzola. Italy prevailed 5–4 on penalties. Roma academy products Giampaolo Bonifazi (born 2009) and Lorenzo Dattilo (born 2010) both started the final and featured in the triumph. The victory signals positive momentum from Roma's youth development program at Trigoria, which continues to produce emerging talent for the Giallorossi. Bonifazi and Dattilo's performances at international level underscore the quality emerging from the club's academy system.

Italy's Under 17 national team won the European Championship by defeating Belgium on penalties in the final. Two young AS Roma players, Bonifazi and Dattilo, were part of the victorious squad. The Italian youth side claimed the continental title through the penalty shootout after the match ended level.

Wesley has been ruled out of Brazil's World Cup squad after instrumental tests revealed a torn adductor muscle in his left thigh. The Roma winger will begin recovery ahead of the club's summer training camp, which starts on 13 July. Wesley posted on social media: "Today I must interrupt a dream because of an injury. It hurts not to be able to continue wearing the Brazilian national team shirt at this moment, but those who know my story know that giving up has never been an option." The injury setback was a relief in one respect—Wesley initially left the field limping and reported knee problems to medical staff, suggesting the damage could have been more serious. On the transfer front, news from Turkey may improve Roma's chances of signing Mason Greenwood. Aziz Yildirim won Fenerbahce's presidential election, defeating the incumbent Hakan Safi, who had previously reached an agreement with Greenwood and pledged to complete a deal with Marseille. With Yildirim now in charge, the dynamics of the transfer have shifted in Roma's favour. The club continues to seek reinforcements on the flanks, with Ruggeri, a former Atalanta player, among the targets being considered.
