Zago on Roma's summer arrivals: Castro and Molina key signings, N'Dicka must cut errors
Former Roma player Antonio Carlos Zago appeared on Radio Romanista's Romanista Show to assess the club's transfer activity and squad prospects for the 2026–27 season. Zago, currently managing The Strongest in Bolivia, identified Castro and Molina as the two principal signings of the summer, praising Castro for his recent form at Bologna and noting that his arrival gives Roma two important attacking options alongside Donyell Malen. On the Portuguese winger Endrick, Zago urged caution despite acknowledging his potential. "You cannot say he is already a champion—he must prove he is strong in a team like Roma in a competitive league like Italy's, where there are many more strong teams than in Portugal," Zago said. "Now things change and he must prove he is strong all the same." Zago reserved stronger criticism for Evan N'Dicka's defending, particularly last season. "Last year N'Dicka made too many mistakes and damaged Roma's defensive unit in matches where you cannot afford to slip up," he said. "N'Dicka I like, but this year he must make fewer mistakes. Roma must still count on him because he is good, but especially in the most important matches he must be more concentrated." Zago also reflected on his own Roma days, recalling an unforgettable moment involving himself, another player, and Gabriel Batistuta that unlocked a decisive victory in a title-chasing season.
