Pellegrini dines with Mancini as Roma mourns De Rossi tribute and Trebiciani

AS Roma has expressed its condolences following the death of Antonio Trebiciani at the age of 88. Trebiciani was a historic figure in the club's youth academy and served as head coach of the first team in 1973. Trebiciani left a lasting legacy at Roma through his work developing generations of young players. His contributions shaped the club's identity over many decades, and his influence on player development became a defining part of Roma's history. The club released a statement saying: "L'AS Roma esprime il proprio cordoglio per la scomparsa di Antonio Trebiciani, storico allenatore del Settore Giovanile giallorosso e guida della Prima Squadra nel 1973. Con il suo lavoro ha contribuito alla crescita di generazioni di calciatori, lasciando un segno profondo nella storia del Club. Tutta l'AS Roma si stringe al dolore della sua famiglia e dei suoi cari." Roma's entire organisation extends its sympathies to his family and loved ones.

Antonio Trebiciani, the influential Roma youth academy coach who developed some of the club's greatest players, has died at the age of 88. Born in Ostia, Trebiciani spent much of his career at Roma's Trigoria academy, where he became the most successful coach in the club's Primavera history. He won three Primavera titles between 1973 and 1978, and claimed back-to-back Coppa Italia Primavera victories in 1973–74 and 1974–75. Trebiciani's impact on Roma extended beyond youth development. In 1973, he stepped in to manage the first team after Helenio Herrera's departure, guiding Roma through the final six matches of the season, recording four draws and two defeats—results sufficient to secure Serie A survival on goal difference. More significantly, he was instrumental in nurturing the careers of legendary Roma players, having launched Agostino Di Bartolomei, discovered Bruno Conti, and overseen the early development of Claudio Ranieri. AS Roma released an official statement: "The AS Roma expresses its condolences for the passing of Antonio Trebiciani, historic manager of the Youth Sector and guide of the First Team in 1973. Through his work he contributed to the growth of generations of footballers, leaving a profound mark on the Club's history. All of AS Roma shares the pain of his family and loved ones."

Roma's summer transfer market remains frozen with no new arrivals by late July, frustrating head coach Gasperini who expected reinforcements at Trigoria. Targets Mason Greenwood and Luis Summestre have already fallen through, while director D'Amico searches for the opening piece of the window. El Mala and Alexander Nusa top the priority list, though the Norwegian's high asking price and injury history give The Friedkin Group pause—they are reluctant to take on another injury-prone signing and have delayed movement. Nusa has not yet signalled openness to Roma. The pursuit of Tresoldi has become complicated despite the German's willingness to join. Club Brugge's steep demands are slowing negotiations. Fresh names emerging at Trigoria include Castro and Oscar Bobb, while midfielder Franck Kessié remains a live possibility. Noa Lang was offered to Roma in attack, but the club rejected the proposition, seeking different profiles for the forward line. Patience is wearing thin both among Roma supporters and sections of Everton's fanbase, who have begun to lose confidence in the Americans' transfer strategy. Ryan Friedkin has returned to the United States.

A meeting is scheduled for Monday regarding Roma's new stadium project. In the transfer market, Roma have made contact with RB Leipzig over winger Nusa, but Leipzig value the player highly and there remains a significant gap between the clubs' valuations. Nusa has not yet opened the door to a Roma move. Roma have also been proposed numerous other wide players, including Luiz Henrique of Zenit, though he was not pursued. Meanwhile, Gian Piero Gasperini and the Roma squad await the return of Lorenzo Pellegrini following injury. The midfielder wants to secure a contract renewal and has accepted reducing his salary, but a key sticking point remains: Pellegrini is pushing for a three-year deal while the club currently offers only two years. Nevertheless, both the player and the club show clear willingness to stay together. After Roma's friendly against Trastevere, Bryan Cristante spoke openly about his teammate, emphasising the squad is waiting for Pellegrini with open arms. Pellegrini was also spotted dining with Gianluca Mancini at a Roman trattoria, a signal of his continued bond with the group. Elsewhere, Roma are tracking Franck Kessié as Juventus pursue the midfielder. Juventus have been in contact for several weeks but no agreement has been reached, with salary and squad integration among points still to be finalised. Roma are prepared to move decisively should Manu Koné depart.

Lorenzo Pellegrini is still waiting for his contract extension to be finalised. The Roma captain dined at the Roman trattoria I Ciarli with teammate Gianluca Mancini on Monday evening, while continuing to train with a personal fitness coach in the capital. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is keen to secure the renewal, as is Bryan Cristante, who remarked: "We can't wait to see him back with us in the group." The final sign-off from the Friedkin Group remains outstanding. Pellegrini has already agreed to a salary reduction, but disagreement persists over the contract length. The player favours a three-year deal, while the club is pushing for a two-year agreement. Both sides are expected to continue negotiations over the coming days.

Lorenzo Pellegrini and Gianluca Mancini were spotted having dinner together at Trattoria Romana I Ciarli in Rome, a gesture underlining the midfielder's strong bond with the club as negotiations over his new contract proceed. Pellegrini, currently without a club, remains a priority target for Roma, with both parties signalling their commitment to reaching an agreement. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has publicly backed the move, a fan banner was displayed outside Trigoria, Pellegrini sent birthday wishes on the club's 99th anniversary, and Bryan Cristante declared after a friendly with Trastevere: "We are waiting for him with open arms." The sequence of gestures reflects the depth of Pellegrini's relationship with Roma despite his current uncontracted status. The dinner meeting with Mancini, a key defender in the squad, suggests the midfielder is maintaining close ties with teammates ahead of a formal return to training. These coordinated signals from the coaching staff, supporters' groups, and playing squad all point towards an imminent renewal of contract terms, with the expectation that Pellegrini will rejoin the training ground in due course.
