Friedkin enjoys double joy as Roma beat Lazio and Cannes secures promotion

Source: Forza Roma

The Friedkin family completed a perfect weekend on the back of Roma's derby victory over Lazio and a climb to the top of the Serie A table ahead of Juventus. Beyond Rome, owners Dan and Ryan also celebrated promotion for Cannes, another club under their ownership alongside Everton. The French club clinched first place in Championnat National 2 Group C with 60 points across 30 matches, securing promotion to Championnat National 1—France's third tier—for the first time in 15 years following a 2–0 win over Lusitanos Saint-Maur on the final day.

The Friedkin Group, which took control of AS Roma in August 2020, has built a multi-club portfolio across Europe. Cannes' historic return to the third division marks a significant milestone in the family's broader football operations, though further promotion to Ligue 2 would be required to restore the club to professional status.

Gasperini commented on his working relationship at Trigoria: "With Ryan at Trigoria there is no intermediary who changes opinions." Cannes' achievement caps a landmark period for the ownership structure, combining domestic success at Roma with tangible progress at their French affiliate.

Roma shift focus to left-back as Fofana deal stalls; Henrique in crosshairs

Roma's transfer priorities have shifted following the completion of Rodrigo Mora's signing. The club is now concentrating efforts on the left-back position and has deprioritised other targets, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto. Interest in Malick Fofana has cooled considerably. Roma had an agreement in place with the Belgian winger but has not given Lyon the go-ahead to negotiate further. A proposed deal worth €35 million plus add-ons was deemed excessive by the club. After restructuring the terms to bring Mora to the capital, the Fofana operation has been sidelined. Similarly, pressure on Alessio Cacciamani has been relaxed as Roma refocus their efforts elsewhere. Luis Henrique has become the priority target, with Roma now pressing hard on that front. The challenge now is to find agreement on the financial terms between player and club.
