Roma scouts Garnacho, but Chelsea resists loan move

AS Roma has moved to protect midfielder Niccolò Pisilli by establishing a transfer valuation for the 2004-born player. Pisilli is regarded as one of the club's key pillars for the present and future. The specific price set by Roma reflects the club's determination to retain the young midfielder and resist any potential approaches from rival clubs. Details of the exact valuation remain unclear.

Radio Roma personalities and former footballers have shared their views on AS Roma's transfer strategy, with particular focus on the club's pursuit of English winger Greenwood from Marseille. Roberto Pruzzo stated on Radio Radio Mattino: "Roma must look beyond Greenwood. He is a player with undisputed qualities, but the price Marseille is asking for is excessive. He started his career well, then experienced a decline." Pruzzo's assessment reflects broader concerns about the valuation surrounding the potential move. Piero Torri of Radio Manà Manà expressed confidence that Paulo Dybala and Çelik will complete contract renewals in the coming week. However, Torri raised concerns about the Friedkin Group's decision-making process, describing the ownership as "always chasing, with inherent slowness in deciding," which he believes can be counterproductive in the transfer market. He suggested Roma should ideally have at least one new signing ready before the start of preseason training, acknowledging that Greenwood could represent a promising start if the deal materializes. The commentary reflects Roma's ambitions under head coach Gasperini to strengthen the squad immediately and compete for silverware, balanced against ongoing questions about the club's transfer efficiency and the financial demands of potential targets in a competitive market.

AS Roma has made inquiries with Chelsea regarding Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho, but the deal faces significant obstacles. Chelsea values the player at €45 million and will only consider a permanent transfer, refusing any loan arrangement—whether straight or with a buyout clause. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is pushing for immediate reinforcements, but the high fee and Chelsea's stance have made this a difficult pursuit for the Giallorossi. The transfer timeline has also lengthened because Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso wants to evaluate Garnacho during the summer training period before making any decision. This delay conflicts with Gasperini's desire to secure new signings promptly as Roma prepares for the upcoming season. While the Argentine's talent interests the club, the combination of Chelsea's firm asking price and unwillingness to negotiate the deal structure has made this target a complicated prospect at present.
