Margiotta appointed Roma's new youth academy director

AS Roma has confirmed Margiotta's appointment as the new head of the youth sector. The club continues preparations for the new season while monitoring the transfer market closely. In the midst of Roma's ongoing work, Manchester United has reportedly entered the race for midfielder Manu Koné, preparing an offer of 50 million pounds. The interest from the English club represents a potential test of Roma's resolve to retain one of their midfield assets during the summer window.

Mason Greenwood will not join Roma, with the club now shifting focus to alternative attacking reinforcements. Director D'Amico is evaluating multiple options including Nusa, Garnacho, and Godts as Gasperini seeks an offensive addition before the pre-season retreat begins on 13 July. The manager wants a new attacking face in place for the start of training, though sources suggest the deal will be challenging to complete. Beyond the front line, Roma's recruitment drive extends across multiple positions. The club has identified Moreira as its primary target for the wing, with Chelsea connections forming part of the intrigue. The defensive departments are also on the radar for reinforcement as the Friedkin Group backs Gasperini's reshaping of the squad. Outgoing transfers are gathering pace. Matías Soulé has signalled openness to a move to the Premier League, while Manu Koné has attracted interest from Manchester United. Mourinho's involvement has played an indirect role in the Koné situation, adding another layer to the summer's activity both in and out of the Olimpico.

Roma will pocket approximately €1.25 million from the transfer of Tyrell Reynolds to French club Rennes. The American defender has completed a move to the Ligue 1 side in a deal valued at close to €5 million, with Westerlo receiving the bulk of the fee. Roma's financial gain comes from a 25 per cent sell-on clause the club retained on the player. Reynolds, who joined Roma as a United States quota player, made limited impact during his time in Rome. The transfer represents a modest revenue stream for the Giallorossi, with the incoming funds available for use in the club's transfer market activity. The deal was brokered through The Athletic's reporting and finalises Reynolds's exit from the Roma structure, allowing the club to recoup a percentage of any future resale value it had negotiated when the player originally departed.
