Roma's pursuit of Nottingham Forest defender Morato is progressing on the basis of a loan with a right of purchase that can become an obligation if certain conditions are met. The arrival of the Brazilian centre-back would free space in Roma's squad and clear the way for Jan Ziolkowski's departure to Monza, a move that is now in an advanced stage of negotiation.
Monza, managed by Ivan Juric, are treating with Roma for Ziolkowski on a loan basis with the possibility of inserting a right of purchase. The deal would offer the 2005-born defender greater playing time and continuity in his development, while Roma are determined not to sell him permanently for less than his initial €20 million valuation. Parma and other European clubs have also made enquiries about him in recent weeks.
A significant issue has emerged elsewhere in the squad: Jayden Oosterwolde has reportedly passed his medical tests with Roma, but the examinations revealed a different situation than the initial assessment provided by Fenerbahce. Recovery times could be considerably longer than the two to three weeks initially communicated by the Turkish club. Roma and the player are working together to find a solution, with no final decision yet taken on the transfer.
Radio commentary from Aspri suggested that head coach Gasperini has clear tactical hierarchies in mind. On potential midfielder targets, Aspri said: "Gasperini has the hierarchies well established. If someone like Kessié were to arrive, the midfield would become of great substance. There is Juventus and competition that, on paper, is impractical for Roma, but the news is true. Gasperini's doubts concern Kessié's condition; he has a great love for the player, but the operation is complicated and interesting because it would change the hierarchies." Discussion also centred on Roma's pursuit of Fofana from Lyon, with negotiations aimed at reducing the fee demanded.

According to both Roma News and GialloRossi.net, Ziolkowski is set to leave on loan, with Monza currently leading the race for the Polish defender's signature. Negotiations between Roma and Monza are in an advanced stage, with the arrangement structured as a loan that allows the 2005-born centre-back regular playing time while Roma retain ownership. Parma and several European clubs have also expressed interest, but Monza have gained ground. Roma have valued Ziolkowski at €20 million and are determined not to sell him permanently below that figure.
