Fofana on Atalanta's radar as Roma pursue left-wing reinforcement

Koulierakis has begun his Roma career at the club's training camp in Wales, completing his first sessions in giallorosso colours. The Greek defender expressed his excitement about playing at the Olimpico, saying: "I cannot wait to play at the Olimpico, the atmosphere is extraordinary." He has been conducting early training work with the squad and made time to interact with supporters at the resort after a session, signing autographs and exchanging smiles with those present. Koulierakis, who spoke with both Manolas and Tsimikas before joining Roma, regards head coach Gian Piero Gasperini as one of the finest in the game. The transfer marks the addition of a fresh defensive option to Roma's squad for the 2026-27 season.

Angeliño is departing AS Roma after two and a half years. The Spanish left-back will undergo a medical with Deportivo La Coruña on 4 August, initially scheduled in La Coruña but now to take place in Florence where Roma are playing a friendly against Fiorentina. Angeliño will join the newly promoted Liga side this evening ahead of the Florence fixture. The transfer is structured as a loan with an obligation to buy set at €2.5 million. Gasperini has opted to move Angeliño on after the player failed to impress during the early stages of pre-season. Last season was hampered by injuries for the 1997-born defender, who began his professional career at Deportivo and will now return to the club where he first made his mark in the game. The operation concludes Roma's pursuit of alternatives in the left-back area as Gasperini shapes his squad for the 2026–27 campaign. Angeliño, who joined Roma in May 2024, departs as the club's number 3.

Roma have identified Real Madrid forwards Endrick and Franco Mastantuono as targets to bolster their frontline, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini requesting two additional forwards despite the recent arrival of Santiago Castro. According to Alfredo Pedullà, the Giallorossi have been monitoring the Brazilian Endrick for a month but are unlikely to move quickly, preferring first to address the left wing with Antonio Nusa or alternatives before pursuing the other option. The ongoing situation with Matías Soulé, who has been available for sale throughout the summer but remains with the club, also influences the club's timing. Roma are competing with Fiorentina for Mastantuono, while Endrick has interest from overseas suitors. Both players could arrive on loan or via a similar arrangement to Nico Paz's deal. Mastantuono carries a €45–50M price tag. Roma harbour tactical reservations about Endrick, the 20-year-old, who is neither a pure winger nor number 10 and performs best as a false nine—characteristics broadly comparable to Donyell Malen and Castro, though he could be further developed. Last season at Olympique Lyonnais, he recorded 8 goals and 8 assists across 21 fixtures. The club recognises that a loan formula could provide an opening for a permanent deal later, though such arrangements risk developing talent that benefits another club.
