Pulisic offered to Roma, but Gasperini's priority remains Greenwood

Arsenal have entered the chase for Roma's Wesley, joining Manchester United and Newcastle in monitoring the Brazilian winger. The Gunners are tracking Wesley as part of their search for reinforcements on the flanks, with the 23-year-old having drawn widespread English attention for his form under Gian Piero Gasperini. Wesley has become one of Europe's most closely watched wingers and has demonstrated his ability to operate on both flanks. Wesley's valuation has risen sharply. Around a year ago, the Brazilian was valued at approximately €30 million; current reports from England suggest that figure has nearly doubled. Roma are now seeking €60 million to consider negotiations. The club has not signalled any intention to sell Wesley, who remains a key part of Gasperini's project. However, the interest from top English sides continues to intensify, with Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle identified as the three clubs most closely following his situation. Monaco's Vanderson is also attracting attention from the same trio of Premier League clubs, valued around €40 million and considered a more accessible alternative. For Wesley, the asking price reflects his status as a top-tier prospect: any club wishing to sign him will need to present an offer befitting a player of that calibre.

Gian Piero Gasperini has revealed he feels consistent backing from the Friedkin Group but wants to see them more engaged with Roma. In an interview with Sky Sport, the coach said: "I always feel their trust and support even though they come to Rome very little. Now they have put in Galantic who certainly makes a tighter connection between Roma and them. My objective remains clear: to get them more involved, not for me but for them and for the fans." Gasperini was discussing his experience at the club while unveiling a new wine label called "3-4-3" produced in Piedmont at Cascina Gilli in Castelnuovo Don Bosco (Asti). Roma continue to pursue Endrick as an attacking reinforcement. Director Tony D'Amico has reopened decisive contact with the entourage of the Brazilian Real Madrid forward during the international break, testing the 2006-born talent's willingness to move to the capital. Endrick has signalled openness to a Roma transfer, though Milan remain strong competitors. His season at Madrid under Mourinho has been complicated, featuring limited appearances and an injury that has hampered his output—a situation pushing him to explore new opportunities for regular playing time. Midfielder Rodrigo Mora has been included in the final 25-man shortlist for the Golden Boy 2026 award, football's annual prize for the best European player under 21. Mora received his place via a wild card alongside Mastantuono, Gadou, Kostoulas and Espart. The honour, created in 2003 by Tuttosport, recognises emerging talent from across Europe's top divisions. Meanwhile, Bryan Cristante's recovery timeline has extended. According to radio commentary, the midfielder sustained a collateral ligament injury, with rehabilitation expected to take approximately one month—longer than initially anticipated. Roma's defence has been singled out as one of Serie A's strongest this season.

AC Milan are emerging as frontrunners ahead of Roma in the race to sign Real Madrid's Endrick, with signs increasingly pointing towards the Rossoneri as favourites for the deal. Both Serie A clubs showed interest in the attacker during the summer, but Milan's position appears to have strengthened significantly in recent weeks. Roma may have an opportunity to discuss a potential deal with Real Madrid when the two clubs meet in the Champions League later in the month. However, La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Milan have strong structural advantages in their pursuit. The club's RedBird ownership maintains a good relationship with Endrick's representatives at RocNation, with Gerry Cardinale himself close to the agency that would facilitate any transfer. AC Milan and Roc Nation have been united since 2020 in what was described as a "unique partnership, driven by innovation, community, integrity, and inclusion", according to the official announcement of that deal. Milan and Real Madrid have also demonstrated a friendly working relationship in the past, having previously completed a move for Brahim Diaz. Should Los Blancos require assistance with Endrick's further development, circumstances could prove favourable for the Rossoneri. Milan may also soon face challenging news regarding the fitness of Alexis Saelemaekers.
