Rensch's emotional Roma signing moment posted by supporter after Çelik's Juventus exit

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has set a 48–72 hour deadline for Roma to complete the signing of Summerville from West Ham, according to journalist Eleonora Trotta. The player has shown openness to the move, and fresh talks with both Summerville and the English club are expected to resolve the details. The ultimatum comes after Roma's summer business has stalled; the club missed out on Greenwood and has yet to deliver a significant new arrival to the squad. Gasperini expects an immediate sprint in the transfer market following the disappointment of losing Zeki Çelik to Juventus. Summerville has emerged as the priority target to bolster Roma's attack. The coach has grown impatient after weeks of slow progress and wants concrete action from the board. Without fresh signings, Roma's preparation for the new season remains incomplete. Other names under consideration include Moreira for the left flank and Tresoldi as a backup option to Donyell Malen. The club must act swiftly to meet Gasperini's deadline and give the manager the reinforcements he has demanded.

Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has praised the signing of Zeki Çelik, who joined the Turin club on a free transfer from AS Roma. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the club's first summer friendly against Basel, Spalletti outlined his view of the right-back's qualities and readiness to integrate into the squad. Çelik left Roma without a fee in what represents a significant loss of defensive depth for the Giallorossi. The 28-year-old's departure comes as Juventus strengthen their ranks during the summer transfer window. Spalletti expressed confidence in the player's character and experience, suggesting minimal adjustment issues ahead. Spalletti said of Çelik: "He is a player of character, reliable. With a warrior's character. I think it was a good idea for Juventus to bring him in. He will certainly have no problems settling in—he is an experienced footballer, a very good lad who everyone in football knows. He will settle easily."

Zeki Çelik's free transfer to Juventus has caught Roma off guard, with the club having believed a contract renewal with the Turkish right-back was agreed. Roma are now exploring defensive reinforcements to fill the gap left by the former Lille player. Nahuel Molina of Atlético Madrid is among Roma's targets, according to Sky Sport. The Argentine defender is viewed as a reliable profile; head coach Gian Piero Gasperini previously pursued him, and Molina has proven Serie A experience from his time at Udinese. Currently, however, Molina is focused on Argentina's World Cup final against Spain on Sunday and is not engaging in transfer discussions until after that fixture concludes. Another option under consideration is Dodo, who is expected to leave Fiorentina and has also attracted interest from Napoli.

Zeki Çelik departed AS Roma for Juventus on 16 July on a free transfer, a move that caught both the fanbase and the club's leadership off guard. Roma had expected the Turkish right-back to remain in the capital to sign a contract extension. Juventus announced his arrival, sparking backlash across social media. Flavio Cobolli, a prominent Roma supporter, responded by sharing a photograph on Instagram of Devyne Rensch in tears at the moment he signed with Roma in January 2025. Cobolli captioned the post "Forza Roma" and paired it with the track "Roma (non si discute, si ama)" by Antonello Venditti, the post quickly went viral among the fanbase. The contrast between Çelik's unexpected exit and Rensch's emotional commitment to the club became a focal point of fan sentiment.

Zeki Çelik's move to Juventus has sparked reaction from the Roma community after the Turkish full-back departed despite being on the verge of signing a new contract with the club. The agreement with Roma was reportedly close to completion, needing only his signature, before he opted instead to join Juventus in Turin. While the transfer does not represent a technical blow, it has fuelled discussion given Çelik's apparent imminent stay had seemed assured. Tennist and Roma supporter Cobolli responded to the departure via social media with a photograph of Devyne Rensch in tears, captioned "Forza Roma"—a post that reads as both a pointed message and a signal to move forward from Çelik to players ready to defend the club's colours. The departure resonated across Roma's fanbase, prompting several prominent Giallorossi figures to weigh in publicly. Rapper and Rome native Gemitaiz also addressed Çelik's exit, writing ironically: "Never stop believing in your dreams."

Roma's squad continued intensive pre-season training at the Fulvio Bernardini facility under Gasperini as preparations for the new season gather pace. Working through the heat in Rome, the players are ramping up their conditioning ahead of the campaign. Matías Soulé shared a photograph from the dressing room on social media after completing the third training session, posting alongside Paulo Dybala, Mario Hermoso, Devyne Rensch, Pierluigi Gollini and Vasquez. Soulé captioned the image: "Third session completed with the gang." The post highlighted the squad's commitment to the gruelling preparation work underway at Trigoria.
