Ghilardi and Soulé arrive at Trigoria amid enthusiasm and autographs

AS Roma's squad assembled at Trigoria on the opening day of pre-season training ahead of the new campaign, with players keen to return to competitive action and pursue a Champions League place. Several squad members shared glimpses of the session across social media, posting messages ahead of what promises to be a demanding year. Midfielder Matías Soulé wrote: "We're back", while defender Wesley offered his hopes: "May it be a fantastic season". The Brazilian defender is preparing for another top-level campaign after missing out on World Cup action with his national team.

AS Roma began its summer training camp at Trigoria on Wednesday morning under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The club confirmed the squad of 17 players taking part in the initial phase of pre-season activity in the capital. The roster includes several players listed for sale: Cherubini, Kumbulla, Mannini, Reale and Pagano. On the transfer front, Chelsea has granted Roma clearance to negotiate with Strasbourg over Diego Moreira by declining to exercise a buyback clause. The pursuit of Alejandro Garnacho remains more complex, though Xabi Alonso confirmed the Manchester United forward will leave Chelsea, stating: "There are many teams interested." Paulo Dybala's contract renewal with Roma has been officially confirmed.

Wesley took part without restriction after recovering fully from the injury that ruled him out of Brazil's World Cup campaign.
