PSG moves for Godts as Roma's right-winger pursuit stalls

Konstantinos Koulierakis will arrive at Rome's Ciampino airport tomorrow to begin his AS Roma career. The Greek defender joined from Wolfsburg on a permanent transfer worth 15 million euros plus one million in bonuses. Koulierakis will undergo medical examinations in the capital before departing for Wales to link up with his new teammates during their pre-season training camp. The move represents a significant addition to Roma's defensive options as the club prepares for the upcoming campaign.

Roma's interest in Endrick dates back to late June, when the Brazilian striker was still engaged in World Cup duty. Head coach Gasperini is an admirer of the forward and sees him as versatile enough to play across both wings or as a central striker. Roma intensified their courtship several days ago when Tony D'Amico visited Madrid to advance talks with Endrick's camp. The club views the forward's recent loan spell at Lyon as a success. A significant error on the line against Norway was seen favourably at Roma's headquarters, as it meant less competition for his signature. Since his return from Lyon, no other serious suitor had approached Endrick until Roma stepped up their efforts. Gasperini's tactical system has made Endrick a priority target, and the coach awaits green light to proceed with the deal. Roma's scouts travelled to Madrid to push discussions forward, signalling the club's commitment to landing the Brazilian forward in the coming window.

Artem Dovbyk has departed AS Roma to join Bologna on a new challenge after a difficult season marked by injury and surgery. The Ukrainian striker said yes immediately when Bologna manager Domenico Tedesco asked if he wanted to play for the club. "They explained the project and the ambition of this club, which wants to achieve much more this season. I am here to give my best," Dovbyk said. Dovbyk, who arrived at Roma from Girona, has now moved on as the Giallorossi pursue other targets, including Castro. The 28-year-old striker told Bologna's official channels that he was convinced by sporting director and manager Tedesco. He praised the squad's unity and individual quality. "It is a very friendly group, it seems like a family. Everyone fights for each other and there are many players of great individual quality," he said. "I know this club has helped many strikers grow in the past and I want to try to give everything for this team, score and help it." On his personal goals, Dovbyk expressed his hunger to play and regain peak condition. "I have hunger and I want to play. I want to rediscover my ideal condition and help the collective. I know the history of Ukrainian players in Italy and I know I am the first to wear Bologna's shirt. I am honoured and I want to achieve great goals here," he said.
