Transfers unlock: Roma pursue wingers on both flanks
Roma have resolved several outstanding transfer matters in recent days. Marash Kumbulla is joining Rayo Vallecano on a move to Spain, with the defender saying: "I am happy and enthusiastic to wear the Rayo shirt and begin this new adventure. It is a team that last year showed how, through hard work, important objectives can be achieved. Moreover, we are talking about one of the most historic clubs in La Liga, a league I now know very well thanks to past experiences. I want to thank the president and coach for their confidence, and I cannot wait to begin." Lorenzo Pellegrini's contract extension for one year has been finalised, awaiting only official club announcement. The departures of Kumbulla and Angeliño have freed resources, and Roma's focus now shifts to recruiting wingers—one attacking left-sided player and one on the left wing-back role. On the right flank, Nahuel Molina's arrival is effectively confirmed pending EU clearance through Spanish citizenship. Roma are targeting left-sided attacking options, with Nusa of Leipzig identified as the primary target despite his substantial asking price. Malick Fofana, the Belgian talent at Lyon recently recovered from injury, is also under consideration at a lower valuation. If Matías Soulé departs, Endrick—on loan at Real Madrid—remains in contention, with no objection from either Mastantuono's operation or José Mourinho. On the wing-back front, Cacciamani continues to appeal but has been blocked, at least publicly, by Cairo; alternative options are under evaluation.
