Fiorentina open to Dodô departure as Roma pursue right-back

Several Italian radio commentators debated Roma's transfer strategy and the pursuit of Mason Greenwood. Roberto Pruzzo, speaking on Radio Radio, offered a contrarian view on Greenwood's future, suggesting that Marseille should retain the forward rather than sell. Pruzzo noted: "According to me Marseille would do well to keep Greenwood. I do not rule out that Marseille, which will not play Champions League, could accept staying out of the cups for a year and not dismantle the squad, with the prospect of still being competitive, because the French league is made of teams that aim more at the transfer market in terms of sales. It is necessary to hope that the player has a say: if he decides to leave, then a solution is found." Matteo De Santis pointed out that both Roma and Marseille must sell players, but suggested Roma could leverage UEFA flexibility if they complete a big sale in early July. Meanwhile, Nando Orsi took a contrarian stance, arguing that Matías Soulé is a strong player suited to Gasperini's system and suggested spending the €50 million on Greenwood elsewhere. Orsi stated: "I would keep him [Soulé], and I would spend the 50 million of Greenwood elsewhere. Now Gasperini commands and he wants Greenwood, but these are the crazy Italian expenses where you insert a player at crazy expenses when you have at home a player that I don't say is equal but you have the certainty of knowing him." The discussion reflects ongoing debate within Roma's fanbase about the club's ambitious transfer plans under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

Bryan Cristante appears set to extend his contract with AS Roma, keeping the midfielder at the club. However, the transfer market may yet bring unexpected developments in the coming weeks. Roma's midfield anchor looks positioned to continue his stay in the Giallorossi colours, though the club remains active in the market and could pursue further squad adjustments if opportunities arise.

Roma is focusing on strengthening the right flank, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini pushing for the signing of Zappacosta. The club is looking to add a familiar and trusted face to that position. Details about Zappacosta's current club, fee, or timeline remain unclear from the available information.

Julio Sergio, a former Roma goalkeeper, spoke to Radio Manà Manà Sport about the giallorossi. Sergio advised Wesley to remain at Roma for a longer period, describing current goalkeeper Mile Svilar as a guarantee for the club. His comments reflect confidence in both players' futures at the Stadio Olimpico. Sergio's perspective carries weight given his own experience with the club. Svilar has established himself as a key figure in Roma's goalkeeping position, while Wesley continues to develop within the squad.

Wesley has begun his rehabilitation following a left adductor muscle injury sustained during international duty. The Brazilian returned to Roma's training facilities at Trigoria on 15 June to commence therapy work. Recent instrumental examinations confirmed a lesion to the left thigh adductor with no involvement of the knee or more severe damage. Recovery is projected at approximately one month. Wesley's comeback plan is mapped out with care. During the first week of July, his workload will gradually increase as he targets availability for Roma's pre-season gathering on 13 July under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Unlike the previous season, Wesley is expected to be ready for Gasperini's immediate squad plans from the start of pre-season. Over the past year, Gasperini has developed Wesley into one of Italy's premier left-side attackers. Roma will seek reinforcement at the position, though Wesley remains a cornerstone of the club's plans. Despite missing the World Cup—a disappointment he is processing—Wesley has shown immediate commitment to recovery by staying in Italy during the early vacation period and prioritising treatment. He is eager to contribute from the opening stages of the new campaign.

Julio Sergio, former Roma goalkeeper, praised teammate Wesley in a radio interview, stating that the Brazilian defender's impact has been impressive but not entirely unexpected. Sergio noted Wesley's physical qualities and work ethic, explaining: "Sapevo che Wesley aveva gamba e voglia: mette sempre il cuore e l'anima in campo" (I knew Wesley had pace and desire: he always puts his heart and soul on the pitch). He credited head coach Gian Piero Gasperini with intelligently shifting Wesley's position to suit tactical needs, drawing parallels to how Gianluca Mancini and other players adapted when arriving in Italy. Regarding Wesley's rumoured interest from top clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City, Sergio suggested another season consolidating at Roma under Gasperini's guidance could be valuable, though he acknowledged the difficulty of refusing offers from world-class institutions. Sergio also assessed goalkeeper Mile Svilar's recent performances, praising his reflexes and physicality. He noted that Svilar has earned strong fan support through on-pitch performances and provides defensive security, though he identified areas for growth: "Può migliorare con i piedi o nelle uscite alte" (He can improve with his feet or in high exits). Sergio highlighted the environment at Trigoria training ground ahead of Roma's return to Champions League, describing it as optimal with strong expectations despite acknowledging the difficulty of competing against established European sides.
