Gasperini arrives at Roma's training ground to crowd of staff and media

Roma players began arriving at the Fulvio Bernardini training centre this morning for the start of pre-season training. Daniele Ghilardi was the first to report, stopping to pose for photographs and sign autographs with supporters present at the facility, who encouraged him with calls of "Make sure it's the Champions League!" Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini also arrived at Trigoria to oversee the gathering. Other squad members to arrive included Niccolò Pisilli, who was surrounded by requests for photos and autographs, Matías Soulé, Gianluca Mancini, Pierluigi Gollini, Angeliño, and additional players throughout the morning session. The pre-season camp marks the beginning of preparations under Gasperini's management as Roma prepare for the upcoming campaign.

Gian Piero Gasperini has outlined his expectations for the summer transfer window after a period of stalled activity. Speaking to Rai Radio 1, the Roma head coach described June as paralysed across all clubs due to World Cup commitments, but predicted real movement from the current week onwards as pre-season preparations commence. Gasperini acknowledged that some arrivals will continue to be staggered as players return from international tournament duty. He expressed confidence in the market's momentum, noting that all clubs appear well-armed for the competitive season ahead. The timing aligns with Roma's preparation schedule, which typically gains pace once June's international commitments conclude. Gasperini said: "The transfer market in June has been a bit of a standstill for everyone due to the World Cup. I think from this week the real market will begin somewhat for everyone with the start of preparation, even if someone will arrive a bit sporadically because of World Cup commitments. Now the market begins and all the squads seem to me well-armed."

Gian Piero Gasperini addressed Rai Radio Uno on the opening day of Roma's pre-season training at Trigoria, setting the tone for the summer ahead. The new coach emphasised that despite an enthusiastic finish to last season, the transfer window has been largely frozen and will only truly activate this week as preparation begins across Serie A. Gasperini said: "The market in June was a bit of paralysis for everyone due to the World Cup. I think from this week the real market will begin a bit for everyone with the start of preparation, even if someone will arrive in fits and starts for World Cup commitments. Now the market begins and all the teams seem well armed to me." On Roma's ambitions, Gasperini stressed patience. "In July many teams want to strengthen themselves, then afterwards we'll have to see what happens in the market. Inter are always the favourites, then there are others like Milan and Juve who stayed out of the Champions League and will want to improve. Roma must continue its path and try to stay high and remain in the competition that allows you to strengthen yourself properly every year; if it manages to do so for several years then it can also aspire to aim for the title." He also addressed Paulo Dybala's renewal, suggesting major developments were imminent: "I believe that starting from this afternoon, so far we've been at the starting blocks, we've enjoyed the summer a bit. From today there will be important accelerations."

Roma begin their pre-season programme under Gian Piero Gasperini on the morning of his second stint at the club. Players are expected at the Fulvio Bernardini training centre at Trigoria by midday, with the squad list to follow. Gasperini arrives alongside Tony D'Amico as Roma aim to build on their Champions League qualification in his first season, targeting further improvement and European competition. The club awaits contract renewals for Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Zeki Çelik, followed by extensions for Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante. Dybala has agreed to stay for another season on two million euros plus bonuses, with an option to renew based on appearances in the following year. The Argentina forward, intercepted at Fiumicino airport alongside Matías Soulé, is expected to complete his renewal announcement this morning. However, Pellegrini will miss early training as he continues rehabilitation from a late-season injury. Roma's pre-season includes three friendlies at Trigoria (16–24 July) against Primavera, Roma City, and Trastevere, followed by matches in France against Cannes (26 July), then Wales with Cardiff (1 August), Newport (4 August), and Brighton (8 August). The schedule concludes with a prestigious test against Dortmund on 15 August before the Serie A campaign opens.

All squad members were required to present themselves by 12:00 to undergo standard medical checks and fitness testing. The atmosphere at Trigoria reflected genuine optimism ahead of the new season. Subscriber numbers have already reached record levels in recent days, underscoring strong fan backing as the club embarks on a fresh chapter under Gasperini's leadership. Wesley was mobbed by supporters seeking autographs and photographs, while Soulé also stopped to meet fans upon arrival. Gasperini himself arrived to begin preparations in earnest, marking the official launch of what the club hopes will be a transformative campaign.
