Juventus Set €60m Price Tag on Exit-Bound Midfielder Koopmeiners

Roma are working on multiple transfer targets for the January window beyond Endrick, the Brazilian forward who has caught coach Gian Piero Gasperini's eye. While Endrick is a striker and left-footer who has shown he can operate in a secondary role at Lyon, his arrival may prove redundant given Paulo Dybala's elevated form and Matías Soulé's recent return to top condition — both players already operate in the centre-forward areas where the Brazilian would likely be deployed. Director Tony D'Amico is therefore pursuing alternative options, with initial contact already made on two specific players. The first is Georgian left-winger Kvernadze, a right-footed player with an imposing physical presence, pace and goalscoring ability who could compensate on that flank for the different profile offered by Rodrigo Mora. The second is Ruben van Bommel of PSV, son of the former Milan and Barcelona midfielder and current Belgium coach. Van Bommel, born 2004, was sidelined by a serious injury last season but has since recovered and is back at peak fitness. Van Bommel has scored 2 goals and provided 4 assists, and has already gained early Champions League experience. Roma's recruitment staff view both players as capable of strengthening the squad in areas where tactical balance is needed.

Roma are close to securing a contract renewal with Emanuele Lulli after the defender emerged as a standout performer in the club's opening weeks of the 2026-27 season. Lulli impressed Gasperini during a pre-season friendly against Dortmund in mid-August, confirming his credentials for the campaign ahead. The club is now moving to tie down his future. With Lulli's contract set to expire in 2027, Roma's management and the player's representatives are in final negotiations. The proposed deal would extend his terms until 2031 on a salary of €500,000 annually, with performance bonuses to increase the package further.

Roma are preparing a significant bid of close to €25 million to sign Frosinone left winger Giorgi Kvernadze, a priority target for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and sporting director Tony D'Amico. The Georgian, born in 2003, has made an explosive start to the season with 5 goals and 2 assists, showcasing technical ability, pace and continuous dribbling that has earned him the Serie A lead in successful dribbles. Kvernadze plays as a natural right-footer capable of devastating one-on-one play, a profile Roma have identified as the dominant left winger they need after failed attempts to sign Summerville and Leweling. Roma face competition from Premier League and Bundesliga clubs monitoring Kvernadze closely, but the club lead the race. The Georgian has also attracted interest in comparisons to compatriot Kvaratskhelia, with whom he shares the same agent and similar movement patterns. Kvernadze has overcome rival candidate Jamie Bynoe-Gittens in Roma's thinking. Having developed in Georgia through Saburtalo and Dinamo Batumi before joining Frosinone, the winger would be positioned alongside Paulo Dybala's quality and Donyell Malen's power in Roma's attack, offering the chance to make the decisive step into elite football.
