Molina the tailor-made fit for Gasperini's system; Roma close in on Cacciamani

Antonio Nusa has played down weeks of transfer rumours linking him to Roma, insisting he has never asked to leave RB Leipzig. The Norwegian striker, who Roma have been tracking as a priority summer target, returned from World Cup holiday and spoke to Sky Sport DE to clarify his position. "I have never expressed the will to leave Leipzig, there are rumours and there always will be. The media can write what they want. I simply relaxed a bit on holiday and now I am here at Leipzig — those are the facts," Nusa said. Roma have maintained a strong interest in the 22-year-old as they seek to strengthen their attacking options, but the cost of any deal remains prohibitively high for the Giallorossi. The club are now studying alternatives, with Endrick and Fofana also under consideration as potential targets to improve their squad depth and quality.

Angeliño has officially left AS Roma after a difficult season, returning to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruña. The left-back shared a farewell message on Instagram, reflecting on his time in the Giallorossi colours and thanking the club, staff, and supporters. The Spanish defender expressed his gratitude for the experience at the Olimpico: "It was an honour to wear this shirt and defend the Giallorossi colours. From day one I felt part of a great and welcoming family, and playing every match at the Olimpico is a privilege I will always remember with affection. Leaving Rome is never easy and a part of me will always stay here." He extended his appreciation to the wider Roma organization and the fanbase, stating: "Thanks to the club, the coaching staff and all the people who work for this club, but especially thanks to the fans for making me feel one of you. The memory of the warmth of the Olimpico will remain indelible." Angeliño's departure concludes a challenging campaign at Roma. The Friedkin Group–owned club will now focus on alternative options at left-back as preparations continue for the 2026-27 season.

Angeliño has left AS Roma after two and a half years with the club, joining Deportivo La Coruña on loan with a right of purchase. The Spanish full-back made 80 appearances and scored 4 goals during his time at the Giallorossi. Angeliño's departure marks the end of a spell that began in May 2024. The move to the Spanish side brings to a close a significant chapter in the left-back's Roma career, during which he established himself as a regular in the squad and became a fan favourite at the Stadio Olimpico. On social media, Angeliño addressed Roma supporters: "Grazie, Roma. È stato un orgoglio indossare questa maglia e difendere i colori giallorossi. Fin dal primo giorno mi sono sentito parte di una grande e accogliente famiglia e giocare ogni partita all'Olimpico è un privilegio che ricorderò sempre con affetto. Lasciare Roma non è mai facile e una parte di me resterà sempre qui, tra momenti indimenticabili, grandi compagni, tanti insegnamenti e l'onore di aver rappresentato un club con una storia immensa. Grazie alla società, allo staff tecnico, a tutte le persone che lavorano ogni giorno per questo club. Ma soprattutto, grazie a voi tifosi per avermi fatto sempre sentire uno di voi. La vostra presenza e il vostro supporto hanno reso quest'esperienza unica e il ricordo del calore dell'Olimpico resterà indelebile. Vi auguro il meglio per il futuro! Ovunque tu sarai, mai sola mai."
