Roma are intensifying their transfer activity with contacts ongoing between the club and Porto over Rodrigo Mora. The Porto winger remains a priority target, with sporting director D'Amico working to bridge the gap between Roma's offer and Porto's €45–50 million valuation. Overnight talks between the two clubs continued, and there is growing confidence the deal can be completed. According to Corriere della Sera, Mora has already secured approval for a €120 million buyout clause to be inserted into his Roma contract. Roma are studying different formulas to close the gap, weighing a permanent transfer at a lower fee with a high resale percentage, or a loan with obligation.
Parallel to the Mora pursuit, Roma are also tracking other wing options. Destiny Udogie from Tottenham has reportedly agreed terms with Roma, while interest remains in Alessio Cacciamani (Torino, valued at around €15 million), Luis Henrique (Inter, €30 million asking price), and Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal, out of contract). Endrick from Real Madrid is also under consideration as a potential alternative to Matías Soulé if the Argentine departs; Roma could accept €35 million for Soulé to fund an Endrick loan deal, though negotiation with Aston Villa and Endrick's agency Roc Nation would be required. A Real Madrid decision on Endrick's loan arrangements is expected in the coming week.
Away from attacking targets, Argentinian fullback Nahuel Molina is expected to arrive in Rome on 10 August, with his flight landing at Ciampino airport at 18:25 (local reports indicated an earlier 19:20 arrival due to initial delay). Roma resume training sessions tomorrow following their pre-season camp in the United Kingdom.
