D'Amico absent from Wales trip as Roma pursue Feyenoord's Read ahead of Nottingham Forest

Source: Forza Roma

Roma defender D'Amico did not travel with the squad to Wales as the club pursues a transfer target elsewhere in Europe. A Roma delegation travelled to Rotterdam on 31 July to explore a deal for Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read, 20, offering €25 million (€23m plus €2m in add-ons). However, Nottingham Forest are competing for the player's signature, having offered Feyenoord €19 million plus €2m in add-ons and already agreeing personal terms with Read worth €20 million over five years—approximately €4 million per season.

Roma must now decide whether to match Nottingham's package or convince Read with a lower salary, potentially around €2.8–3 million annually, while enticing him with the prospect of Champions League football. The race for the young defender illustrates Roma's ongoing efforts to strengthen their defence during the current transfer window, with the negotiation between two ambitious clubs likely to intensify in the coming days.

Summerville's Penalty Miss at Al-Hilal Draws Sympathetic Ribbing From Roma Fans

Crysencio Summerville endured a difficult start at Al-Hilal after missing a penalty with a chip that sailed high. The Dutch winger, who was closely tracked by Roma during the summer transfer window before accepting the Saudi Pro League offer, saw his error circulate widely on social media despite the goal not costing his team the three points under manager Simone Inzaghi. Roma supporters have largely moved past Summerville's decision to reject the club, with fans taking to social media to mock the miss. Among those sharing commentary was Damiano David, the well-known Roma supporter and musician, who posted: "Quanto ce dispiace" (roughly "how much that hurts us"). The incident appears to have helped the Giallorossi fanbase digest the Dutchman's refusal of their advances.

Neom target Ziółkowski as Roma demand €20m

Jan Ziółkowski has attracted interest from Saudi Arabian club Neom, with Roma valuing the centre-back at approximately €20 million. The Polish defender found limited playing time last season and has not fully convinced head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, prompting the Giallorossi to consider offers for him. Several clubs from Saudi Arabia have already expressed interest in the 2005-born player. Gasperini would prefer to retain Ziółkowski over Daniele Ghilardi, but the Polish defender has a stronger market appeal due to his age, room for growth, and current involvement with the Polish national team. Roma's €20 million valuation also reflects a 10 per cent sell-on clause owed to Legia Warszawa from any future sale. Should Ziółkowski depart, Roma would be forced to pursue another central defender, likely targeting a loan arrangement with an option to buy rather than a permanent signing.

Bynoe-Gittens back in focus for Roma, but loan deal required

Roma's transfer window has entered its most intense phase as head coach Gian Piero Gasperini seeks two additional reinforcements to complete his squad: another full-back and a left winger. The club is working on deals for Luis Henrique and Fofana, but negotiations remain complicated. With Luis Henrique requiring agreement to be reached with Inter over the formula and the player himself, and the Fofana operation from Lyon deemed excessively costly and stalled, Roma is now considering loan options to bolster those positions. Chelsea winger Bynoe-Gittens has re-emerged as a target. The left-winger had a disappointing 2025–26 season in the Premier League after Chelsea paid 60 million euros to sign him from Borussia Dortmund. Roma could only bring him to the club on a temporary basis, potentially with an option to buy, rather than a permanent transfer.
