Oosterwolde arrives at Ciampino as Roma's fifth summer signing

Roma have made a strong start to the season, but the club needs one more decisive move in the transfer market to challenge Inter. The Friedkin Group is working on final signings to strengthen the squad before the window closes. Fofana remains a key target, with the decision resting with the Friedkin ownership. Lyon have frozen their market activity as negotiations continue. Oosterwolde has arrived in Rome and was greeted by supporters with hugs, smiles and autographs, with medical checks and contract signing to follow. Elsewhere, Paulo Dybala has impressed with three assists and creative play, though his form carries financial implications for the owners. Bahoya remains on the club's shortlist of potential signings as Roma look to add depth across the squad.

Artem Dovbyk made an underwhelming start to his Bologna career, squandering a clear chance in 30 minutes off the bench during his side's loss to Roma. The Ukrainian had told Bologna before his arrival that he expected to show his best form after struggling under Gasperini at Roma, where he said he was not enjoying himself. His opportunity came in the second half when Bologna, trailing by a goal, sent him on to try to change the match — but he failed to make an impact, mirroring his difficulties in the previous season with Roma's coach. Dovbyk had an immediate chance to make an impression, receiving a ball that needed only to be pushed into the net, but he missed it badly. That miss cost Bologna dearly, as they might have found an equaliser from the situation. His debut was far from the statement he had hoped to make. Bologna's supporters will be expecting a very different performance going forward.

Jayden Oosterwolde landed at Ciampino airport at 11:55 on 25 August, completing his move from Fenerbahçe to Roma. The transfer enters its final phase with medical examinations and contract signature now scheduled, with supporters present to greet the arrival. The medical checks will be particularly focused on assessing a biceps femoris injury that has troubled Oosterwolde in recent weeks, allowing Roma to establish a clear picture of the condition and expected recovery timeline before head coach Gian Piero Gasperini can deploy him. Once the medical tests are cleared and final contractual formalities completed, only the official club announcement remains.
