Frattesi deletes old anti-Roma social media posts from his youth

Gasperini confirmed Wesley fit to start in Roma's opening match against Fiorentina after the Brazilian trained with the squad and shook off a minor issue from recent days. Wesley is expected to replicate his debut performance against Bologna. The only remaining selection question in attack centres on Gasperini's choice between Mora and Soulé. In the transfer market, Roma are pursuing Chelsea winger Gittens, though the London club are resisting a loan deal and demanding a permanent move. The situation is complicated by the wider transfer movements at Chelsea, particularly involving Mudryk, whose future could directly influence the Blues' stance on Gittens. Luis Henrique remains the leading target on the left flank, with Oosterwolde also back on Roma's radar. Rodrigo Taddei visited Trigoria to welcome his namesake, offering a special greeting to the incoming Portuguese player.

Mora is the most anticipated arrival in Roma's summer transfer market. The Portuguese player, described as talented and eager to prove himself in a new environment, has been selected by Gasperini for the debut fixture against Fiorentina. Mora is keen to make an immediate impact at the Olimpico and begin writing his story in giallorosso colours. Mora's surname echoes that of Rodrigo Taddei, the Brazilian who spent years as a cornerstone of Roma's squad under managers including Spalletti and Garcia. Taddei built a special bond with supporters through his performances, goals, and commitment to the club. Today Taddei returned to Trigoria, where he left a welcoming message for his namesake: "I am here to wish you good luck, may God bless you and may you be able to realise all your dreams with our magical Roma. Much success. Forza Roma always". Mora will take the field on Monday. Taddei will be watching.

Roma are considering Chelsea winger Jamie Bynoe-Gittens as a potential attacking reinforcement in the final days of the transfer window. According to reports, the club has made direct contact with Chelsea, though the English side want a permanent transfer while Roma are pushing for a loan. The winger is viewed as an ideal fit for Gasperini's football and represents a low-cost opportunity with wages aligned to Roma's wage structure, though negotiations remain at an early stage. Roma's Serie A campaign begins on Monday 24 August at 20:45 at the Stadio Olimpico against Fiorentina. Gasperini has received an injury boost with Wesley available after recovering from an ankle problem and ready to start at left-back. Niccolò Pisilli has also returned to group training but is expected to begin on the bench, while Lorenzo Pellegrini's recovery will take longer as he targets inclusion in the squad for the 5 September fixture against Atalanta. The club continues to monitor other targets including Dutch defender Jayden Oosterwolde, who represents an attractive profile for his versatility and was first approached in June.
