Oosterwolde arrives tomorrow morning at 11:35

Jan Ziolkowski is set to leave Roma, with the club ready to listen to offers for the Polish defender. Ziolkowski saw limited action last season and did not feature in Roma's 2026–27 Serie A opener against Fiorentina. Parma have tabled a permanent offer for the centre-back, while Monza have inquired about taking him on loan. Two foreign clubs are also pursuing Ziolkowski behind the scenes. The 24-year-old's departure would free up space in Roma's squad as Gasperini shapes his defensive options for the campaign ahead. Ziolkowski's lack of involvement in the new season signals he is no longer part of the coach's plans, and the club appears willing to offload him before the transfer window closes. Saudi Arabian clubs have also registered their interest in the player. According to Fabrizio Romano, Ziolkowski could depart Roma in the coming days. Parma's offer is for a permanent deal, while Monza have only proposed a loan arrangement. Two additional clubs from abroad are working behind the scenes to bring Ziolkowski to their sides.

Jan Ziółkowski is facing an exit from Roma following the arrivals of Koulierakis and Oosterwolde, which have closed the door on the young Polish defender. Parma and Monza have both made enquiries, with Parma seeking a loan deal while Monza have tabled a permanent offer. Foreign clubs, particularly from Saudi Arabia, are also monitoring the situation. Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming days. Ziółkowski's path at Roma has been blocked by the new defensive signings brought in this summer. During the recent match against Fiorentina, he remained unused on the bench for the full 90 minutes, unlike Ghilardi, who came on as a substitute and is heading towards staying at the club.

Tony D'Amico, Roma's sporting director, spoke to DAZN minutes before kickoff against Fiorentina on 24 August. Speaking for the first time in his role, D'Amico said: "It is the first time I am speaking as Roma's sporting director and I am doing so in this stadium. The emotion is considerable." He took up the position on 20 June during an active transfer window and credited head coach Gian Piero Gasperini with easing his integration. The pair had worked together at Atalanta. "With the manager we have lived important years at Atalanta, so he has helped me greatly in my settling in, because I took office on 20 June, right in the middle of the transfer market. His knowledge of football has made things easier for me," D'Amico said. D'Amico acknowledged Fiorentina as a dangerous opponent. "They are certainly a squad with great enthusiasm. They have done excellent business in the market, with major investments. It will be a complicated match; we hope to do our best," he said. On Roma's own market activity with a week remaining, he was cautious about significant departures. "We are certainly vigilant in the market. There is still a week to go. The settlement agreement is known to all. We have constraints we must respect which sometimes force us to change our targets. We will certainly need opportunities to broaden the squad and have a competitive team. As far as departures are concerned, I think it is difficult to imagine one a week from the end of the market," D'Amico explained. When asked about left-wing targets, specifically whether Fofana and Gittens were current options, D'Amico did not address them by name. He reiterated Roma's need to find opportunities within the financial framework set by the settlement agreement that governs the club's spending capacity.
