# Roma's Final Transfer Moves: Leweling and Luiz Henrique in Focus
Roma are in the closing stages of the summer transfer window pursuing attacking reinforcements to complete head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's squad. The club has shifted its primary target from Luiz Henrique to Jamie Leweling in recent hours, though both players remain under consideration. Retesport reports that Roma have reached a total agreement with Stuttgart for Leweling that now awaits ratification, while the pursuit of Luiz Henrique from Zenit has been temporarily placed on hold after being blocked overnight. Multiple outlets confirm that Leweling has now leapfrogged Luiz Henrique in Roma's attacking priorities, marking a significant reversal of strategy within days.
The Luiz Henrique situation remains fluid. According to Fabrizio Romano and reports from GialloRossi.net, Roma and Zenit have reached agreement in principle on a deal structured as a loan worth €5 million plus a purchase obligation set at €30 million. Crucially, Henrique has approved the move and made Roma his priority, though the clubs must still finalize terms. Meanwhile, sporting director Tony D'Amico continues working on Leweling. Stuttgart initially rejected Roma's opening proposal—€5 million loan plus €35 million purchase option—but outlets differ on the club's current flexibility. Forza Roma suggests Stuttgart has shown increased willingness to negotiate, though German sources cite a valuation of €50–55 million. Leweling, born in 2001, is a versatile winger capable of operating across both flanks and as a fullback, characteristics Gasperini has publicly identified as necessary.
A potential sale of Matías Soulé could unlock Roma's ability to pursue both attackers. Forza Roma reports Premier League clubs including Fulham, Newcastle and Sunderland have shown interest, with Roma valuing him around €40 million on a structured deal. The window closes within two days, making the coming hours decisive as D'Amico juggles these competing priorities.
