Gasperini wins the argument: Roma's big players stay put as Greenwood pursuit begins

Source: Forza Roma

Gian Piero Gasperini has successfully convinced AS Roma to hold onto its strongest squad members rather than sell, clearing the way for an ambitious scudetto push. The 30 June settlement agreement deadline passed without a major departure, meaning players including Matías Soulé and Manu Koné will remain in giallorosso. The situation marks another victory for Gasperini over the management's original cost-cutting agenda.

With the settlement agreement now unmet, Roma will face a reported fine of €10 million and potential squad restrictions for the 2027–28 season. However, this financial consequence removes the obligation to sell, transforming any future departures from necessity into strategic choice. Gasperini hopes to strengthen rather than weaken, with Paulo Dybala poised for a contract renewal and fresh role. Roma squad assembly is scheduled for 13 July, by which date Gasperini aims to have at least one or two new signings in place.

Mason Greenwood remains Roma's primary transfer target. Negotiations with Atlético Madrid are also underway regarding Matteo Ruggeri and Nahuel Molina, both players favoured by Gasperini. Once the settlement period closes, attention shifts entirely to inbound recruitment rather than outgoings.

Roma submit opening bid for Garnacho as push for Summerville continues

Roma have tabled their first offer to Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho as they look to strengthen Gasperini's squad for the Champions League. The proposal consists of a loan with a 5 million euro fee plus 35 million euros in a buyout clause that would become mandatory under certain conditions. Garnacho is not the only target on Roma's radar. The club continues to pursue Summerville from West Ham after the Dutch winger's move to Manchester United fell through, with the player being offered to Roma once again. Arsenal and other top clubs are also tracking Tzolis from Club Brugge, though Roma remain interested in the Belgian club's player. Roma are additionally working on a deal for Diego Moreira, with an offer reported to be close to 30–35 million euros plus a percentage of future sale revenue.

Roma begin summer training; Dybala renewal confirmed, Pellegrini deal close

AS Roma opened summer training at Trigoria on Monday with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and his squad, with dozens of supporters present to greet the team. Players reported around 12:00 and completed their first session at 18:00. Notably absent from the squad call were World Cup representatives Koné (still in competition), N'Dicka, El Aynaoui, Malen, and Çelik—who is close to renewing his contract—as well as Pellegrini, sidelined by injury but nearing a contract extension. Paulo Dybala's renewal has been officially confirmed through 30 June 2027. The forward said: "This story continues, as everyone wanted—the club, me, and the fans. I'm happy to play another season here, another year in this city. Being able to defend Roma's shirt is a privilege for me. Roma means many things to me: honour, responsibility, beauty. There are also many personal reasons that brought me to be here today. When the music we've all been waiting for plays—the Champions League—we'll look at each other, us on the pitch and you in the stands, and we'll be proud of what we're doing." Gasperini told Rai Radio Uno the Friedkins will arrive in the coming hours and stressed the importance of their presence. "From today there will be important accelerations. We hope to do good business in the market and give answers to the enthusiasm of a city that has already made many subscriptions," he said. Pellegrini is set to sign until 2028 with a 2029 option, earning €2.5 million per season plus bonuses; the deal is in final stages before signature.
