Mora talks reopen as Roma target Fofana and secure Henrique interest

Roma have stepped up their pursuit of left-winger Rodrigo Mora with an improved offer worth €25 million, according to Fabrizio Romano. Director D'Amico and head coach Gasperini are keen to address a gap on the left flank that has persisted for over a year. Mora, who was left on the bench for 90 minutes in a match against Rio Ave yesterday evening, is now close to joining the club. After two days of stalled negotiations, Roma have renewed their push for the Portuguese winger. The club's recent contact with Mora's current side has been positive. Under the proposed deal, Roma will pay €25 million upfront, with the selling club retaining a 50 per cent stake in any future sale. The Rome club continue their summer recruitment efforts even during the mid-August break, prioritising the addition of an experienced left-sided option to Gasperini's squad.

Roma are resting while the club continues to work the transfer market to secure reinforcements for Gian Piero Gasperini ahead of the season opener against Fiorentina on 24 August. Mora is edging closer to the club, with Farioli and Petrachi offering their views on both his situation and that of Cacciamani as recruitment activity gathers pace in the coming weeks.

Roma's transfer activity has intensified with progress on two fronts. Luis Henrique has accepted Roma's financial offer to join the club, with Roma and Inter having agreed terms on a deal worth €30 million comprising a fixed fee and bonuses. The Brazilian winger's move represents a significant step forward in the Giallorossi's recruitment plans for the current window. Director D'Amico intends to complete the Porto operation for Rodrigo Mora before finalizing the Henrique deal. The left-back position remains a priority area for Roma, with alternatives being considered to strengthen that flank. Cacciamani and Udogie are also on Roma's radar as potential defensive reinforcements on the left side.
