Roma to gain another small profit as Reynolds edges closer to Rennes move

AS Roma has identified Godo of Strasbourg as a potential transfer target to strengthen its attacking options as the summer transfer window opens in July. The club is prioritizing attacking reinforcements as part of its broader squad development plan. Details regarding the nature of Roma's interest, proposed fee, or the player's position remain unclear from the available information.

AS Roma is intensifying its summer transfer activity as Gian Piero Gasperini seeks at least two new attacking wingers ahead of Roma's return to the Champions League after seven years. With Summerville increasingly unlikely to join, Roma has identified Martial Godo, an Ivorian winger from Strasbourg, as a potential secondary target. The 21-year-old, who also holds an English passport after being born in London, recorded 16 goals and 6 assists across 44 appearances for Strasbourg this season in Ligue 1, Conference League, and the Coupe de la Ligue. His transfer value is reportedly around €30 million. Gasperini's primary priority remains Mason Greenwood, but Roma's recruitment focus has expanded to address the left flank more broadly. The club initially showed interest in Godo during discussions regarding Diego Moreira, another target for the wide position. Roma continues to monitor alternative options including players from Feyenoord and Tottenham Hotspur, keeping its options open as the transfer window progresses.

Roma rejected multiple offers for their players ahead of the June 30th financial deadline, turning away approaches from Juventus for Mile Svilar and from Inter and Porto for Niccolò Pisilli. Matías Soulé declined a move to Saudi Arabia, with his agent expressing frustration over how the transfer was handled. Despite external interest, Roma's hierarchy remained firm in retaining their core squad members. UEFA granted Roma and all clubs a tacit extension through July, allowing an additional month to include sales in last season's financial statements due to World Cup scheduling. However, this extension does not apply to new acquisitions. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants to keep Wesley, Evan N'Dicka, and Manu Koné, and the club's leadership is unwilling to upset the manager. Roma plans to argue to UEFA that peripheral squad moves will be sufficient to contain financial losses, though failure to do so could result in fines exceeding €10 million and squad limitations in the 2027–28 season. The club aims to retain all top players while strengthening the squad to challenge for the Serie A title. Matías Soulé appears likely to depart despite Roma's broader retention strategy.
