Gasperini rejected Godts, now heading to PSG; Pruzzo backs Molina as reliable signing

Antonio Nusa has played down weeks of transfer rumours linking him to Roma, insisting he has never asked to leave RB Leipzig. The Norwegian striker, who Roma have been tracking as a priority summer target, returned from World Cup holiday and spoke to Sky Sport DE to clarify his position. "I have never expressed the will to leave Leipzig, there are rumours and there always will be. The media can write what they want. I simply relaxed a bit on holiday and now I am here at Leipzig — those are the facts," Nusa said. Roma have maintained a strong interest in the 22-year-old as they seek to strengthen their attacking options, but the cost of any deal remains prohibitively high for the Giallorossi. The club are now studying alternatives, with Endrick and Fofana also under consideration as potential targets to improve their squad depth and quality.

Roma director Gianluca D'Amico has secured Nahuel Molina from Atlético Madrid, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini confident the Argentine winger is perfectly suited to his 3-4-2-1 formation. Initial concerns about how Molina would adapt to playing as a right-sided defender rather than his familiar centre-back role at Atlético Madrid, where he won the World Cup with Argentina in Qatar, have been allayed by Gasperini's assessment of his tactical profile. Molina's experience and reliability are expected to address Roma's defensive flanks, particularly when deployed as a wing-back rather than in a traditional full-back capacity. D'Amico arranged the signing during a recent trip to Madrid and is now pushing forward with a second wide player acquisition. Roma are in advanced talks to sign Cacciamani from Torino for less than €15 million. The club aims to secure two external defenders at a combined cost well below the price of a single marquee signing, as Roma reshape their squad options on both flanks for the new season.

Angeliño has officially left AS Roma after a difficult season, returning to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruña. The left-back shared a farewell message on Instagram, reflecting on his time in the Giallorossi colours and thanking the club, staff, and supporters. The Spanish defender expressed his gratitude for the experience at the Olimpico: "It was an honour to wear this shirt and defend the Giallorossi colours. From day one I felt part of a great and welcoming family, and playing every match at the Olimpico is a privilege I will always remember with affection. Leaving Rome is never easy and a part of me will always stay here." He extended his appreciation to the wider Roma organization and the fanbase, stating: "Thanks to the club, the coaching staff and all the people who work for this club, but especially thanks to the fans for making me feel one of you. The memory of the warmth of the Olimpico will remain indelible." Angeliño's departure concludes a challenging campaign at Roma. The Friedkin Group–owned club will now focus on alternative options at left-back as preparations continue for the 2026-27 season.
