Gasperini to address Roma amid Çelik exit and transfer push

Roma have set a deadline of Monday or Tuesday to resolve their pursuit of Summerville, aiming to reach a definitive answer on whether the move can proceed. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's influence has been instrumental, and the player has signalled his willingness to accept Roma's financial offer. However, a gap persists between the clubs: Roma are proposing 44–45 million euros with bonuses (40 million euros as a fixed base), while West Ham are demanding 50 million euros, with 50 million euros as the fixed base. Payment structure will also prove crucial to negotiations. According to Matteo Moretto, the player has not only expressed availability to Roma but has moved closer to their economic terms. Despite good alignment between Roma and Summerville, the clubs have yet to reach agreement. Roma have instructed their negotiating team to determine by midweek whether to raise their offer further or abandon the pursuit. The timeline reflects the club's desire to avoid prolonging discussions indefinitely.

Roma are pushing hard to sign Janis Summerville, with the player's agents having contacted Tony D'Amico to try to close the deal. Summerville has agreed to reduce his wage demands, and Roma's offer of 4 million euros plus bonuses is expected to satisfy him. The club continues to explore other attacking options, with Tresoldi positioned as a deputy to Malen rather than as a primary striker target, though transfer fee figures remain fluid internally. Lorenzo Pellegrini's future hinges on head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's assessment, according to radio analysis. Gasperini wanted to retain all three senior midfielders, but Pellegrini risks following the same trajectory as Zeki Çelik if the club waits until contract expiry to negotiate a renewal. The midfielder is a professional committed to Roma, yet he has the right to explore other opportunities as his contract runs down. A recent photograph posted by Pellegrini suggested he was at the airport exploring options elsewhere. Radio commentators questioned the logic of investing 30 million euros in a deputy to Malen, noting that at 21 years old, Tresoldi remains unproven. With the transfer window open and Pellegrini able to negotiate with other clubs from 19 July onwards, the dynamics around his future remain fluid and could materialise in unexpected directions.

Lorenzo Pellegrini's contract renewal with Roma is nearing completion after the club secured extensions for Gianluca Mancini, Paulo Dybala and Bryan Cristante. The midfielder, who posted on social media showing his return to Rome in recent hours, has become the focus of renewed fan backing as negotiations progress. A banner has been hung outside the Fulvio Bernardini training ground at Trigoria expressing supporter sentiment toward the number 7. The message read: "Making a mistake can happen, repeating it means carelessness. Let's hold tight to Lorenzo." The display reflects fan concerns about retaining key players, following Zeki Çelik's departure to Juventus. Roma's management, led by D'Amico, continues working to deliver the renewals head coach Gian Piero Gasperini requires for the squad. The banner represents a section of the fanbase attempting to push the club toward finalising Pellegrini's terms and avoiding another high-profile exit. The class of 1996 midfielder remains the last major renewal pending among the squad's senior figures.

Roma played their opening pre-season friendly at Trigoria under Gasperini, welcoming back Paulo Dybala and Wesley following recent absences. Dybala was formally a free agent until days ago, while Wesley returned from injury that caused him to miss the World Cup. Robinio Vaz remained unavailable through injury, and Zeki Çelik travelled to Turin, leaving Gasperini with a limited squad for the session. The main concern came when Mario Hermoso, the Spanish defender, left the pitch with ice applied to his right leg just below the knee late in the friendly. The issue appeared to stem from a knock, though Roma will monitor his condition closely over the coming hours. With few outfield players fit and available, Gasperini will be hoping the injury proves minor.

A banner was displayed outside Roma's Fulvio Bernardini training centre during a friendly between the first team and the Primavera, calling for the renewal of Lorenzo Pellegrini's contract. The message, signed by Gruppo Roma, read: "Making a mistake can happen... Repeating it means carelessness!" followed by "Let's hold tight to Lorenzo!" The banner's first part references Zeki Çelik, who departed for Juventus after failing to agree a new deal with Roma. The supporters' statement represents a clear push for the club to extend Pellegrini's contract, which remains unsigned. The number 7 is a central figure in Roma's plans, and fan pressure reflects wider concern that the club must avoid repeating the mistake made with Çelik.
