Gasperini asks Greenwood to wait as Friedkin prepares offer

Roma are accelerating efforts to lock down contract renewals for three key players: Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Çelik. Director D'Amico is working across multiple fronts to protect the squad's core. A fresh meeting with Dybala is expected in the coming days, with hopes that discussions will bring clarity on both his future and the club's direction. Positive signals are also emerging in negotiations with Çelik and Pellegrini, though details remain unclear on specific terms or timelines. June has emerged as a decisive month for Roma's summer planning, with contract renewals sitting among several pressing issues alongside transfers and player sales. The club is confident about reaching agreements and there is a willingness from all parties to find common ground. Roma believe that formal announcements could come soon as discussions progress in what officials describe as the right direction. The three players are viewed as essential pieces of Roma's present and future strategy. While no deals have been finalized, the prevailing sense at Trigoria—the club's training ground—is one of optimism that the negotiations will reach successful conclusions in the coming weeks.

Nicolò Zaniolo has completed a permanent transfer to Udinese after the club exercised its purchase option in the final hours of the deadline. The former Roma player has signed a contract through 2029. Udinese will pay Galatasaray approximately 5 million euros plus 50 percent of any future sale proceeds. Zaniolo contributed 5 goals and 5 assists during his loan spell with the Friuli club. Despite retaining a sell-on clause with Galatasaray, Roma will receive no financial benefit from this transfer. The club had negotiated terms that would have triggered payment if the sale exceeded 20 million euros, or alternatively 20 percent of any difference above the 16.5 million euros originally paid by the Turkish side. The 5 million euro fee falls well short of both thresholds, meaning Roma gains no bonus or income from the deal. The low valuation has left the Giallorossi without compensation despite their contractual protections.

Matías Soulé is among Roma players being considered for sale as the club seeks to generate approximately €60 million in capital gains by 30 June to meet Financial Fair Play requirements. Soulé's agent is reportedly in Milan, suggesting active negotiations. The sale would help Roma comply with financial regulations during the June deadline. Further details on interested clubs or the progress of talks remain unclear.
