Feyenoord open talks over Geertruida replacement

Roma are monitoring Monza midfielder Manga Foe-Ondoa as they look to add reinforcements in midfield ahead of the January transfer window, according to market expert Ekrem Konur on X. The French midfielder, born in 2005, could also attract interest from Lazio, which would set up a transfer derby between the two Rome clubs. Roma's sporting director Tony D'Amico is seeking new signings to widen the options available to Gian Piero Gasperini. Foe-Ondoa is not yet a Roma player, and the interest described is exploratory, with no offers or concrete negotiations so far. Lazio are also said to have looked at the midfielder. Foe-Ondoa joined Monza last summer from Estoril Praia and is carving out a place in the side coached by Ivan Juric. He has made seven Serie A appearances, five of them as a starter, and has provided one assist so far this season. The Frenchman can play several roles in midfield, and is described as physically strong, dynamic and good at winning back possession. He is under contract at Monza until June 2030 and is regarded as a player with promising room to improve. With January approaching, his name could become one to watch closely.

Roma are among the clubs linked with a move for Real Madrid forward Endrick, the Brazilian born in 2006, as the January transfer window approaches. According to TEAMtalk, the player and his entourage are considering a temporary exit from Spain in the winter window to find more regular football. Endrick has had little game time this season under head coach José Mourinho, with few starts in the first part of the 2026-27 campaign. Roma and AC Milan are both reportedly prepared to explore a straight loan without an option to buy. That formula would initially suit Real Madrid, who want to keep control of the future of a player they still see as part of their long-term plans. Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta, have also shown interest, but they want a temporary deal with a purchase option included. That condition could complicate negotiations, given Real Madrid's reluctance to lose control of the registration of a player they continue to back. Despite his reduced minutes, Endrick's standing at Real Madrid reportedly remains high. Club president Florentino Perez and Mourinho continue to regard him as an important figure for the project over the long term. The main question is therefore the playing opportunities available to the Brazilian in the coming months. If more chances do not arrive, the idea of a loan departure could gain strength.

Arsenal have reportedly made a firm move for Endrick, with the Gunners keeping contact with the Brazilian's entourage and ready to open negotiations with Real Madrid, according to TEAMtalk. Milan are also following the situation closely. Roma are watching from the sidelines, ready to seize an opportunity should one arise, and the club are among the options if the forward leaves Madrid. The 19-year-old had come close to joining Roma last summer, but Mourinho's refusal blocked the deal. The forward reportedly wants more playing time and is considering leaving Madrid as soon as January. Should he genuinely want to go, Mourinho would not stand in his way. For Roma, the picture could change quickly, and the club's interest is strong enough to keep them in the race if a winter move becomes possible. Endrick's future will be decided by the next ten matches: if he finds regular minutes he will stay in Madrid, but if not, new scenarios could open up. Among those possibilities, according to the report, is Roma under Gasperini.
