Roma wins transfer standoff with Cagliari over midfielder

Source: Forza Roma

Roma has secured improved terms in negotiations with Cagliari over a midfielder transfer. The Sardinian club initially attempted to alter the deal's conditions after the player completed medical checks at Villa Stuart on Saturday, prompting Roma to halt proceedings. In response, Cagliari raised their offer from the original €5 million plus €1.5 million in bonuses. The improved proposal came as Sassuolo and Palermo were ready to enter the race, with Palermo reportedly prepared to offer more money. Roma's decisive intervention, coupled with the player's desire to remain in Serie A, resolved the impasse.

Roma's approach reflects the club's stated policy of not undervaluing assets in the transfer market. The negotiation also benefited from Roma securing a UEFA extension on the deadline for formalizing player departures, giving the club additional leverage in discussions. The player's personal preference to play in Italy's top division proved influential in the resolution. An official announcement is expected between this evening and tomorrow.

Pedullà: Roma has not yet made a push for Greenwood; no summit with his father or club meetings today

Mason Greenwood remains a target for AS Roma, but the club has not yet committed seriously to a move for the Marseille attacker. Journalist Alfredo Pedullà reported that while contacts between Roma and Greenwood's representatives have continued, the giallorossi have decided against accelerating negotiations. Greenwood is viewed as one of head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's key targets to strengthen the squad, though he remains on a shortlist of multiple options rather than the sole focus. Pedullà stated: "The contacts have continued, the name should not be ruled out, the profile is very much liked, and dialogue with the entourage has progressed. But up to this moment Roma has decided not to push hard, even if the name (not the only one) should be kept within a very restricted list." He added that no meetings took place at Trigoria regarding the transfer on the day of reporting, and Roma is studying its strategy after concluding the June 30 deadline without sacrificing any key squad members. Roma is expected to present an opening offer to Marseille in the coming days, though it will reportedly fall short of the French club's asking price. The timeline and structure of any potential deal remain fluid as the transfer window progresses.

Roma and Basel close to settlement over Calafiori future resale clause

AS Roma and Swiss club Basel are nearing a final agreement regarding a long-running dispute over Riccardo Calafiori's future resale rights. The two clubs have reached consensus on the financial figure Basel will pay to Roma, with negotiations now focusing on payment terms to bring the matter to a definitive close. The dispute originated from Calafiori's transfer to Basel four years ago, followed by his subsequent move to Bologna and then to Arsenal. Roma had maintained that the 40% future resale clause included in the original Basel deal entitled the club to a percentage of all funds received by Basel from Calafiori's later sales—including the 50% portion Basel received from Bologna's sale of the defender to Arsenal for 45 million plus 5 million in add-ons. UEFA previously ruled in Roma's favour on this matter. The resolution of this dispute will bring several million euros to Roma's coffers. The agreement marks an end to years of negotiation and legal wrangling over the interpretation of the resale clause.

Salah-Eddine Returns to Roma; PSV Bids Farewell as Future Remains Uncertain

Moroccan right-back Anass Salah-Eddine has formally returned to AS Roma after PSV Eindhoven failed to complete a permanent transfer. The Dutch club was unable to reach an agreement with Salah-Eddine's representatives over a purchase deal worth €8 million. PSV released a farewell message on social media, stating: "Anass, you promised you would fight for this badge and you did exactly that. Together we were able to celebrate a beautiful milestone with our third consecutive title. Thank you for your commitment, your energy and your contribution to our club. We wish you all the best for the next chapter of your career." Salah-Eddine did not impress head coach Gian Piero Gasperini during Roma's preseason last summer, and another departure appears highly likely this year as well. Roma is reportedly seeking around €10 million for the 2002-born fullback. Real Betis had been linked with interest in recent weeks, though they do not currently view him as a priority. With his future at the Giallorossi uncertain, Salah-Eddine is expected to move on again in the coming transfer window.
