Roma and Napoli battle for Alajbegovic as Leverkusen winger targets Serie A move

Roma have reached an agreement with Tresoldi over a move to the club, but must now accelerate negotiations with Bruges before other top European sides join the race. The Italian-German striker is valued at approximately €30 million. Talks are advancing on multiple fronts in attack as the Giallorossi pursue their primary target, Summerville, with a West Ham deal potentially worth around €40 million on the table. Roma have met with Summerville's agents and are awaiting a definitive response from the Dutch winger, whose current asking price sits below €50 million. The club hope to keep Summerville's wages within a €4–4.5 million ceiling. While pursuing those leads, Roma have placed the Garnacho option on standby pending Summerville's answer. The club have also cooled on Tzolis, who was proposed in recent hours but is no longer a priority given current targets. Separately, Roma and Moreira have found agreement on wages, according to reports.

AS Roma is monitoring Brazilian forward Endrick as a potential target to strengthen Gian Piero Gasperini's attacking options. The 2006-born talent is being considered alongside Crysencio Summerville and Alejandro Garnacho as Roma seeks to add quality and depth to the offensive department. However, the pursuit faces a significant obstacle: José Mourinho, Endrick's current manager, is reluctant to part with the player before seeing his full development. Mourinho views Endrick as having substantial growth potential and wants to continue working with him, which could limit the likelihood of a summer exit. Roma remains attentive to the situation and may explore a move if the Summerville and Garnacho avenues become definitively complicated. Endrick plays as a central striker but can operate as a second striker or right winger. A natural left-footer, he has explosive pace, attacks depth effectively, possesses physical strength to shield the ball against experienced defenders, and combines a powerful left foot with solid finishing and improving creativity in the final third. In the recently concluded season, split between Real Madrid and Lyon, he made 24 appearances, scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists—contributing directly to a goal roughly every 1.5 matches. He has earned 21 caps for Brazil's senior side with 4 goals. Within Gasperini's system, Endrick's pace, ability to exploit space, and pressing intensity would make him compatible with the vertical, high-intensity football the Roma manager demands.

Manchester United have made contact with the representatives of Roma midfielder Manu Koné as the club seeks to strengthen its midfield options. Koné, currently competing for France in World Cup semifinals against Spain, remains undecided on his future at the Giallorossi. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has raised some doubts about the number 17's future in the capital, though the manager would prefer not to lose one of his key players. Koné's agent has travelled to England in recent days to explore potential suitors. According to reports, Manchester United have held talks with the midfielder's representatives following their acquisitions of Andrey Santos and Tielemans. The Red Devils are hunting for another midfielder with strong physical and defensive attributes—a profile that suits Koné, who has demonstrated his capabilities at international level. However, the Manchester United target list extends beyond the Roma midfielder, meaning Koné remains one of several options for the Premier League club rather than a primary target.
