Frosinone reportedly plan to quintuple Kvernadze's wages as Roma interest grows

Roma are reportedly tracking Club Brugge attacking winger Carlos Forbs, with the January transfer window the focus of renewed speculation. The interest follows sporting director Tony D'Amico's stated wish to give head coach Gian Piero Gasperini a new attacking winger. Belgian outlet Voetbalnieuws reports that Roma are on the trail of the 2004-born player, who has scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in the league and Champions League so far this season. Beyond Endrick and Bynoe-Gittens, who have been the usual names linked, Forbs is now being mentioned as a possible target. Forbs is also being monitored by Fiorentina and three Premier League giants: Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham. Should Brugge refuse to sanction a sale in January, D'Amico could still attempt to beat the competition to the player and lock him down with a view to the summer. The report makes clear that the interest in Forbs is driven by the need for an attacking winger to strengthen Gasperini's options, and that Roma's pursuit would have to compete with several rival clubs for his signature.

Roma are among the clubs most interested in Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs, according to the Belgian outlet Voetbalnieuws, as sporting director D'Amico looks to add an attacking winger for Gian Piero Gasperini in January. Before Roma's match against Sassuolo, D'Amico admitted he wanted to give Gasperini an attacking winger in the January window and had already started looking for the right profile. Alongside Bynoe-Gittens and Endrick, whose names were already known, Forbs has emerged as a serious target. The Portuguese winger is ready for the next step in his career, and his departure from Club Brugge in the summer is described as practically certain. A move in January is more complicated, but D'Amico could still open talks early to get ahead of the competition. Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Fiorentina are also tracking the 2004-born player. This season, Forbs has scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in 14 appearances across the league and the Champions League.

Turkish newspaper Sozcu reported that Francesco Totti had taken a consultancy role in the sporting area at Fenerbahce, claiming he had met the club's president in Istanbul the previous day to discuss the details. Fenerbahce have firmly rejected the story, and the claims are not true, according to the club's official statement. According to the club's account, Totti is currently in Kuwait, and a stop in Istanbul was only a stopover during his journey. There was no meeting with the president and no agreement with Fenerbahce. The club issued a harsh official statement calling the report completely without foundation, and it criticised the media outlets that spread the reports without first verifying them. The Sozcu story was headlined "The football mind of Fenerbahce" and was subsequently picked up by other news organisations citing the same newspaper. Fenerbahce's statement, published on 9 November 2026, asked those outlets to act in line with journalistic principles and a sense of responsibility. Totti spent his entire playing career at Roma, from 1992 to 2017, scoring 307 goals, and his number 10 shirt has been retired by the club.
