Ezzalzouli back on Roma's radar as Betis demand €60 million

Roma have intensified negotiations with Real Betis over the signing of Abde Ezzalzouli as Gian Piero Gasperini continues his search for a new attacking winger. The Moroccan winger, born in 2001, has emerged as one of the club's primary targets to reinforce the wide areas after the Roma hierarchy assessed several profiles in recent weeks. Quick, adept at one-on-one duels and capable of playing across both attacking flanks, Ezzalzouli possesses the characteristics Roma seek to add quality and unpredictability in the final third. The negotiations are not expected to be straightforward, however. Betis's financial demands are considered high by Roma, and the outcome of the deal will depend largely on the Spanish club's economic requirements. Despite those challenges, Roma remain committed to finding a solution and have no intention of abandoning the pursuit. D'Amico is working to identify the correct formula to bring the Moroccan to the capital without exceeding the budget set by the club. Ezzalzouli remains one of the hottest names on Roma's radar as the summer transfer window progresses.

Roma's transfer window has finally gained momentum. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who previously described the club as "a diesel engine", now expects another push following the first signing. Antonio Nusa remains the priority target, with a deadline of the weekend set for negotiations; the club will not wait beyond that point for the Argentine winger. Roma's sporting director D'Amico is already evaluating alternative profiles in case Nusa talks stall. Matías Soulé could move in the opposite direction. According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, the Roma winger has been proposed to AC Milan, who are examining his profile with interest. The deal has not yet advanced to active negotiations, but the player appeals to Milan and fits the characteristics demanded by coach Amorim. Roma plan to depart for Wales on Friday to continue their pre-season training camp. Gasperini expects further activity soon, ideally before the Welsh camp begins, as the club looks to strengthen both attacking depth and defensive options ahead of the new season.

Walter Sabatini, former Roma sporting director, has praised Santiago Castro's arrival at the club as a significant acquisition. Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb, Sabatini expressed strong approval of the Argentine striker under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, calling him a player of genuine quality who will deliver results in Serie A. Sabatini highlighted Castro's work ethic and technical prowess, qualities he believes make him an ideal fit for Roma's attacking needs. The ex-director's endorsement carries weight given his long track record in identifying talent during his time in the club's hierarchy. Sabatini said: "Congratulations to the Giallorossi. Castro is strong and is someone who fights, he puts his life on every ball and knows the technical solutions to get the ball in the net. We are talking about a modern player and I am sure he will do very well."
