Endrick moves away from Roma as Real Madrid accepts Premier League offer

Roma's pursuit of Endrick has stalled, with Real Madrid opting to send the Brazilian talent on loan to the Premier League rather than Italy. According to RadioMarca and LaGalerna, the Spanish club have decided against a move to the Giallorossi, closing the door on a transfer that had been on Roma's radar for several weeks. The development represents another setback in Roma's attempts to strengthen their attacking options this summer. The club will now need to redirect their recruitment efforts elsewhere as Endrick remains out of reach. Real Madrid's preference for a Premier League destination over a Serie A move underlines the competitive landscape for loan placements at elite level.

Evan Ferguson could return to Italian football. The 21-year-old Irish striker, currently sidelined by an ankle injury sustained in January, spent time on loan at Roma last season but has not featured since. According to Football Insider, Torino have opened talks with Brighton to sign Ferguson, with the English club open to discussing his departure. Ferguson's Roma spell was disappointing and cut short by injury. He arrived on loan from Brighton during the 2025–26 season but struggled to make an impact before the ankle problem ended his time at the Stadio Olimpico. Torino have identified him as an attacking reinforcement, in a move that coincides with Roma's own interest in acquiring Torino's Cacciamani.

Lorenzo Pellegrini has signed a new contract with Roma, turning down offers from Juventus and Besiktas to remain with the club. The midfielder, born in 1996 and formally out of contract from 1 July, will be welcomed back by head coach Gian Piero Gasperini on his return from Roma's pre-season training camp in Wales and England, where a friendly against Brighton is scheduled for 8 August. Pellegrini has used recent weeks to recover from injury, a period that Sky Sport reports helped all parties involved reach the best decision. The club is expected to announce the renewal on 7 August. The deal is structured as a one-year agreement. The midfielder's decision to commit to Roma underlines his importance to Gasperini's plans for the 2026-27 season. Pellegrini, who wears the number 7, was free to negotiate with any club after his previous terms expired but chose to stay at the Giallorossi rather than pursue moves elsewhere.
