Gasperini surveys Primavera talent as Roma's young prospects chase first-team opportunities

AS Roma have finalised Paulo Dybala's contract renewal, extending his deal until 2027 on annual terms without automatic or unilateral extension options. The new agreement includes multiple performance-related clauses that significantly boost the forward's earning potential beyond his base salary of 2.2 million euros net. Dybala will receive 100,000 euros per appearance as a starter lasting at least 45 minutes, with a cap of 2 million euros. From his 21st appearance onward, the per-match bonus rises to 150,000 euros. For substitute appearances of at least 20 minutes, he earns 75,000 euros per match up to 20 appearances, then 100,000 euros per appearance thereafter. The contract includes goal and assist bonuses: every five combined goals and assists earn a reward starting at 100,000 euros and climbing to 1 million euros if he reaches 30 decisive contributions overall. Additional bonuses are tied to team objectives, including trophy wins and Champions League qualification. The negotiations required extensive work from Roma's management to structure the varied incentives and performance thresholds.

Lorenzo Pellegrini is on the verge of signing a new Roma contract following a productive meeting between sporting director Tony D'Amico and the player's agent Giampiero Pocetta. The fresh talks have strengthened optimism that a deal will be concluded shortly, effectively closing the door on speculation that Juventus might move for the Roma number seven. With contract situations resolved or nearly finalised for Paulo Dybala, Zeki Çelik, Gianluca Mancini, and Bryan Cristante, Pellegrini's renewal represents the final piece needed to secure continuity in the technical project under the new management. Roma's determination to wrap up negotiations reflects the club's commitment to keeping the midfielder at the core of the squad.

Roma are accelerating their transfer activity under head coach Gasperini and ownership, working to close multiple deals swiftly. The club has already moved to block Tresoldi ahead of interest from Atlético Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, with negotiations with Bruges advancing. The operation is separate from the expected departure of Artem Dovbyk, though both require rapid progress in talks. Director of football Tony D'Amico is pursuing several parallel targets. For Crysencio Summerville, the main barrier remains his wage demands, which Roma consider unsustainably high and a threat to squad harmony. In the case of Diego Moreira, personal terms have been agreed with the player, but Roma and Strasbourg remain far apart on the transfer fee, with the French club holding firm on its valuation. The club is also keeping alive interest in Endrick as a longer-term prospect. No official signings have been confirmed in the first half of July, but the hierarchy is determined to avoid dragging negotiations into a prolonged deadlock or inviting rival clubs to muscle in on targets. All three priority acquisitions—Tresoldi, Summerville, and Moreira—are being pursued with a view to closing them rapidly.
