Roma announce departure of sporting director Frederic Massara after less than a year

Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé marked Argentina's World Cup final qualification with celebrations at Roma's Trigoria training ground. The pair, both Roma players currently preparing for the new season, shared a video on Instagram showing them dancing in the dressing room to music ahead of a training session, as Argentina completed a 2–1 comeback victory over England courtesy of goals from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez. Dybala, who wears Roma's number 18, and Soulé were among the Argentina squad members present at Trigoria during the international break to begin their preparation for the campaign ahead. The celebratory footage captured the mood of the Albiceleste contingent following their unexpected comeback in the knockout tie.

Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé marked Argentina's victory over England with celebrations at Roma's Trigoria training ground. The pair were in high spirits following the South American nation's win, sharing footage from the training facility that showed both hard work and festive moments in the wake of their country's success. Both players remain central to Roma's plans as the club enters the new season. Dybala, a long-standing attacking cornerstone for the Giallorossi, and Soulé, who has become an important option in Roma's forward line, will be expected to bring the confidence from international competition back into Serie A action.

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is methodically examining Roma's Primavera players during the summer break at Trigoria, rotating and observing young talents to assess their potential for the first team. Several academy prospects have been called up for examination, including defender Filippo Basile (born 2008, captain in the U18 setup during 2025–26), centre-back Federico Terlizzi (2007), and attacking midfielder Mattia Guaglianone (2010), who impressed in the Under-18 ranks playing above his age group. Forward Edoardo Morucci, a class of 2007 striker, is also part of the evaluation process and featured in Roma's Europa League fixture against Stuttgart; he scored 5 goals and provided one assist last season. Emanuele Lulli, a defender whose profile dipped from prominence last season, remains in Gasperini's sights despite reported interest from Avellino. The technical director wants to examine him directly before any decision is made. Forward Antonio Arena, who scored in the Coppa Italia against Torino in January, is similarly under review. The academy has a deep talent pool, and the pathways vary for each player—some may seek opportunities elsewhere, whilst others harbour affection for Roma as their lifelong home. Gasperini's thorough assessment signals the club's intent to develop youth internally whilst keeping all options open in the transfer market.
