Friedkin Group unlikely to sell Svilar or Koné, Roma radio analysts suggest

Source: Forza Roma

Italian radio commentators have weighed in on Roma's summer transfer strategy following reports of Juventus interest in goalkeeper Mile Svilar. Francesco Balzani reported that contact between the clubs has occurred, with concrete developments overnight, but stressed that Svilar is not for sale and Roma has not set a price. Balzani stated: "The club has not decided not to sell him, but not to undersell him." He added that head coach Gasperini wishes to retain Svilar, and noted that the Friedkin Group does not want to sell either Svilar or Koné. Balzani also expressed expectations that Roma would present an offer for Greenwood on 1 July.

The commentary reflects broader concerns about Roma's financial compliance. Piero Torri raised questions about whether Roma respected settlement agreement obligations, though he suggested the ownership may have secured protections in discussions with UEFA leadership. Roberto Pruzzo cautioned against overspending on Greenwood at 55 million euros, advocating instead for multiple backup options. Nando Orsi suggested Roma should prefer paying fines rather than selling key players, and argued that young forward Matías Soulé should remain at the club to develop under Gasperini, proposing instead that a defender might be sacrificed.

Le parole di giornalisti ed ex calciatori sulla Roma Redazione 30 giugno - 13:04 Dalle lacrime all'altare ai fuochi d'artificio dopo il sì: il matrimonio ElSha-Pagani Quello delle radio romane è un fenomeno che non ha eguali nel resto d'Italia. Una pluralità di stazioni che fungono da piattaforma, una schiera di giornalisti, ex calciatori e opinionisti ad animare lo spettacolo. Ecco le opinioni dei protagonisti delle emittenti radiofoniche: Francesco Balzani (Teleradiostereo - 92,7): "Il contatto c'è stato, nella notte ci sono stati sviluppi concreti. Mi ricorda un po' la situazione di Koné con l'Inter dello scorso anno. Al momento, però, Svilar non è in vendita e la Roma non ha fissato un prezzo. Il club non ha deciso di non venderlo, ma di non svenderlo. Nell'immaginario generale la Roma finirà per cedere un big, ma Gasperini vorrebbe trattenere Svilar. L'interesse della Juventus è reale, anche se mi sorprenderei se l'operazione andasse in porto. Onana è stato pagato 60 milioni, quindi una valutazione di 50 milioni per Svilar mi sembra bassa. Se però la Roma dovesse cedere Svilar e poi prendere Greenwood e Vicario, non sarei entusiasta, ma potrei anche accettarlo. In ogni caso, i Friedkin non vorrebbero cedere né Svilar né Koné. Mi aspetto che domani, 1° luglio, la Roma presenti l'offerta per Greenwood." Piero Torri (Radio Manà Manà Sport - 92,7): “La Roma non ha rispettato i paletti del settlement agreement, vediamo cosa succede. Mi auguro che la Roma si sia cautelata in qualche modo. Da Trigoria continuano a dirci che la proprietà è tranquilla. Devo immaginare che i colloqui tra Friedkin e Ceferin abbiano portato qualche risultato, magari garantendo uno spettro di penali per la Roma. Non voglio immaginare sanzioni peggiori, come la squalifica dalle coppe europee. Da domani, mi auguro ci siano gli annunci dei rinnovi. In vista della prossima stagione, Gasperini vuole fare all-in. Roma si gioca tutto e vuole provare a vincere, com’è giusto che sia. Se arrivi terzo, devi attaccare chi è davanti”. Roberto Pruzzo (Radio Radio Mattino - 104,5): “55 milioni per Greenwood? Troppo rischioso spendere tutti quei soldi. L’importante è non partecipare ad aste. Mica c’è solo Greenwood in giro per il mondo. Devi avere pronto il piano B, C e D. Io non spenderei quei soldi per Greenwood. Svilar va tutelato, il resto non è incedibile”. Nando Orsi (Radio Radio Mattino - 104,5: “Meglio pagare multa che vendere alcuni giocatore preziosi. I Friedkin hanno dimostrato di non avere problemi economici, forse si aspettavano questa situazione. Nel calcio di oggi, se paghi solo 10 milioni di multa… sei salvo. Dybala non ti fa 38 partite e, secondo me, Soulé deve rimanere. In prospettiva, Soulé può solo crescere con Gasperini. Nel girone d’andata, ha fatto benissimo. È un ragazzo di 21 anni, deve crescere. In Italia non diamo mai tempo ai giovani. Io sacrificherei un difensore, magari N’Dicka”. © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura Calciomercato AS Roma Svilar-Juve, Moretto: "Contatti con entourage e giocatore".

Roma reject fire sales: club confident in balancing budget without major departures

AS Roma has signalled its intention to close the first half of the transfer window without selling key players, according to reports emerging from the club's Trigoria base. The Friedkin Group is unwilling to dismantle the squad's core to satisfy UEFA financial requirements, and has instructed officials to reject offers deemed insufficient. The club will only consider departures if genuinely unmissable bids arrive; otherwise, no established players will be sold. Roma believes it can present a balanced budget to UEFA in June while retaining its main contingent. The club has already generated approximately 13 million euros in capital gains, reduced operational costs, and expects increased revenue from overseas broadcast rights. Additional financial relief may come from the situations surrounding players Bove and Calafiori. Officials, including D'Amico, have made clear that no player will depart at discount prices. Roma is prepared to accept potential sanctions—including a fine or restrictions on squad registration for European competitions in the following season—rather than compromise squad stability, viewing this as preferable to harsher UEFA penalties.

Juventus makes contact with Svilar's representatives over potential move

The Serie A champions have identified Svilar as a target in the goalkeeper market. Roma's position on any potential departure remains unclear from available details. Svilar joined Roma and has established himself as a key player in the club's defence. Any move would represent a significant transfer involving one of Roma's core squad members.

Juventus Contact Svilar Over Potential Move; Roma Demands €50m+

Juventus has registered interest in AS Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar as they seek to strengthen their defensive options. According to transfer specialist Matteo Moretto, Juventus has made contact with Svilar and his representatives to explore the conditions for a potential departure. However, Roma has made clear that the Belgian keeper is not for sale at any price below €50 million—a fee Juventus are reportedly unable to match at present. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini considers Svilar integral to Roma's plans and has advised the club to retain him. The Friedkin Group ownership has adopted a firm stance against parting with the goalkeeper. Moretto stated: "The Juventus is trying to understand the conditions for a possible exit of Svilar. But the giallorosso club would still want to keep him, also on the indication of Gasperini, who considers him unsellable." Roma's position is reinforced by Svilar's own public commitment; he has expressed through social media his love for the club and his desire to compete in the Champions League wearing Roma's colours. The situation remains fluid, with Roma reportedly set to complete another significant departure imminently, which could open other transfer scenarios. Nevertheless, club officials maintain that any sale of Svilar would require an offer significantly above market value—a threshold unlikely to be breached in the near term.
