Gasperini approves Alajbegovic move as Roma step up pursuit

Nicolò Tresoldi wants Roma and is currently awaiting the club's next move. The Club Brugge striker has been identified by the giallorossi as a potential deputy to Donyell Malen and is convinced by Gian Piero Gasperini's project, having already spoken with Niccolò Pisilli. Roma's pursuit of Tresoldi operates independently of any potential departure by Artem Dovbyk, who remains without a new club at present. The giallorossi could proceed with the signing even without selling the Ukrainian forward, though Tresoldi's valuation is high, ranging between €25–30 million. Despite considerable interest from other clubs, Tresoldi is focused solely on Roma's movements in the transfer market. An acceleration in negotiations is expected in the coming week.

Paulo Dybala has returned to the Italian capital ahead of Roma's pre-season retreat, which begins in two days. The Argentine forward stopped short of confirming his contract renewal publicly, telling Il Romanista: "Rennoval? We cannot confirm it yet." However, the deal is all but complete, with only his signature remaining before official confirmation arrives in the coming days. Dybala will begin summer preparation at Trigoria after spending time in Argentina with his wife Oriana and daughter Gia. The 30-year-old's future at Roma is not in doubt despite his cautious remarks. He left a message for the giallorossi supporters ahead of his return to training, saying: "I will greet them when we see each other." His renewal comes as Matías Soulé, a fellow Roma attacking player, recently raised questions about his own future with the club.

Paulo Dybala has returned to Italy to prepare for the new season, arriving at Rome's Fiumicino airport in the evening alongside his wife Oriana and daughter Gia. The move comes less than two days before Roma's squad reconvenes at Trigoria. When asked about greeting supporters, Dybala said: "I tifosi li saluterò quando ci vedremo" (I will greet the fans when we see each other). The club is now awaiting the announcement of his contract renewal.
