Dybala back in training, Endrick edging closer, Friedkin budget question hangs over Roma January plans

Roma are accelerating their transfer activity and focusing their attention on the attack, with Endrick at the top of the list. The Brazilian reportedly wants more playing time after a first spell at Real Madrid in which he did not carve out the role he had hoped for. Roma are pressing to sign him on loan, but the route remains complicated: Milan are also following the situation, and the Spanish club has not yet decided whether to let him leave. Endrick is not the only name on Gian Piero Gasperini's mind. Among the alternatives are Jamie Gittens, for whom Chelsea have reportedly opened the door to a loan move, and Ademola Lookman, a profile that continues to attract interest. The name of Rodrigo Riquelme has also returned to the discussions in recent assessments. The priority has become adding quality and options in attack, temporarily putting the search for an alternative to Wesley on hold. Lulli played an important role in this change of strategy.

Roma's squad news is mixed during the international break: Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini took part in part of Thursday's training session with the group at Trigoria, while Pierluigi Gollini and Mile Svilar trained separately. Eleven Roma players are currently with their national teams. Gian Piero Gasperini continues to work with the rest of the squad, focusing on recovering injured players ahead of the resumption of Serie A. For Svilar, the programme was agreed with the medical staff, and his condition will be assessed daily, with the aim of having him available for the match against Parma. Elsewhere, the future of Endrick may lie away from Real Madrid. According to Matteo Moretto, reporting on Fabrizio Romano's YouTube channel, the decision will rest mainly with the player, even though José Mourinho is in favour of keeping him at the Spanish club. If the Brazilian forward asked for more space and continuity, Real Madrid would be willing to consider a loan departure. The 2006-born player, who previously had a spell at Lyon, is keen to accumulate minutes and keep developing. Two Italian clubs are monitoring the situation, but Roma currently appear to have the advantage: they maintain constant contact and are following developments closely. AC Milan are further in the background, despite good relations with Roc Nation, the agency that manages the Brazilian's interests. The chances of a loan exit are reportedly increasing. In a long interview with Diario Marca, Niccolò Pisilli spoke about his bond with Roma, the coaches who shaped his career and his ambitions. The midfielder warmly recalled José Mourinho, who gave him his first-team debut and his first goal for the club: "He is a truly exquisite person. I will always be grateful to him." He also praised Gian Piero Gasperini, describing him as a master for his work at Atalanta and for the results achieved in his first season in Rome. Pisilli spoke of Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi as legendary figures, stressing the gap between their history and his own few minutes as captain. Among his football role models he named Pedri, admiring his personality and calmness on the ball. On Roma's form, he recalled the performance against Real Madrid, arguing the team has shown it can compete with anyone when it stays focused and compact. Asked what he would do if Roma won the Scudetto, he replied: "We would celebrate in great style." Roma return to action on 21 November to face Parma at the Stadio Tardini. The presence of their supporters in the away section remains uncertain: the Osservatorio Nazionale sulle Manifestazioni Sportive has postponed its assessment on the sale of tickets, without imposing restrictive measures for now. A final decision will only come after further examination. The possibility of restrictions for Roma fans, who risk being unable to follow the team to Emilia, therefore remains open. Further updates will clarify how supporters can access the stadium.

Roma and AC Milan remain interested in Endrick, while Real Madrid are not yet convinced about letting the Brazilian forward go, according to The Athletic, which cites well-informed sources. The Brazilian is looking for more playing time, and Roma want a quality reinforcement in attack to take the next step. No decision has been taken on a possible departure in January. However, if his minutes stay low over the coming month, Endrick could push for a move. Real Madrid and Mourinho would prefer to keep him and continue to believe he will get his chance. For now, interest from Sporting and Arsenal appears to have been ruled out, leaving Roma and Milan as the clubs still keeping the option alive. His situation will be reviewed in January. The situation is similar to last year, but according to the English tabloid, Real Madrid this time would be less inclined to sell him in order to preserve squad depth. A permanent departure could only be considered for a fee above 60 million euros. The report places the matter firmly in the January window, with Endrick's playing time over the next month set to be the decisive factor in whether he pushes for a exit.

Paulo Dybala and Gianluca Mancini have taken part in part of Roma's training session with the group, a positive sign ahead of their full return from injury. The update came on 11 November 2026, during the international break, when 11 Roma players are away with their national teams. Gian Piero Gasperini continues to work at Trigoria with the players who remained available, with a focus on recovering the injured ahead of the resumption of the league season. The squad trained today at the Fulvio Bernardini sports centre. Pierluigi Gollini and Mile Svilar are following differentiated training. Svilar's programme has been agreed with the medical staff, and his condition will be monitored daily, with his recovery assessed step by step. The aim is for him to be available against Parma. Roma's medical department will continue to track Svilar's progress each day, adjusting his work as the recovery develops. Dybala and Mancini's partial involvement in group training marks a step towards their full return to the squad.

Paulo Dybala has returned to partial training with the Roma squad at Trigoria, and Gianluca Mancini is also back in contention, with both targeting the trip to Parma on Saturday 21 November at 18:00. The sessions took place without the thirteen players currently on international duty, allowing head coach Gian Piero Gasperini to use the break to focus on recovering injured players and to rebuild a more complete squad for the resumption of the league. The most important development concerns Dybala, who took part in part of the session alongside his teammates. The Argentine is completing his recovery from the calf injury that forced him to miss the last few matches. His return to full involvement will be gradual, avoiding any rush that could risk a relapse. Mancini had been dealing with a right hamstring problem in recent days, which had forced him to withdraw from his national team call-up. His condition is not causing particular concern, and the defender is expected to be available as normal when training resumes. If there are no setbacks, both Dybala and Mancini could return to the matchday squad for Parma. Gasperini hopes to put at least some of the injury crisis of recent weeks behind him. There was also a differentiated training session for Mile Svilar and Pierluigi Gollini, who are aiming to return against Parma. Devyne Rensch is ruled out. The break has come at the right moment to rebuild the squad's rotation. The next objective is to progressively increase Dybala's training loads and to confirm Mancini's full physical fitness before giving the final green light for both to return to action.

Mile Svilar has returned to training without his protective brace and is cautiously targeting Roma's trip to Parma, ahead of a European night against the champions Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. The Giallorossi goalkeeper, who has been missing during the international break's recovery period, is a key figure as Roma's defence has started the season near-perfectly. Roma rejected a Bayern Munich approach for Svilar in the summer, and the numbers explain why. Svilar is still the best goalkeeper in Serie A for the third consecutive season, leading the league for goals prevented per 90 minutes (0.38) and for pass completion rate (92.1%). Among the top five European leagues, he ranks second for save percentage (83.3%, behind Fortuño of Espanyol) and third for pass completion (behind Gulacsi and Restes). In many statistical categories he ranks above Courtois and Raya, both of whom finished in the top three of the 2026 Yashin Trophy, a race in which Svilar was not even among the candidates. The word that best describes Svilar, according to the piece, is security. Opta data show that across 485 minutes played, Svilar completed just 7 saves with a poor parry, meaning the ball stayed in play or was left for opponents. Gollini, in 483 minutes, completed 15 saves with a poor parry, more than double in the same period. The comparison is not an attack on Gollini, who has also prevented 2.75 goals in Serie A, but a figure that once again highlights Svilar's quality and reliability. Gollini and Vásquez stood in for Svilar with great professionalism during his absence, and Gasperini is eager to have him available again. Svilar is returning to training with caution, and his rehabilitation is progressing toward a return in the coming matches.
