Roma begin Welsh pre-season camp, face Cardiff test tomorrow

AS Roma arrived at the Vale Resort in Wales, their base for this phase of summer training, where they will prepare for their upcoming pre-season fixtures. The squad was greeted by numerous supporters who waited for the team coach to collect autographs and photographs with their favourite players. Santiago Castro, the club's new number 9, stopped to meet fans and was warmly received following his recent transfer to the capital, signing autographs and posing for pictures. Roma will take to the pitch tomorrow at 16:00 Italian time for their first Welsh training camp fixture, against Cardiff City. The match offers head coach Gian Piero Gasperini an important opportunity to continue building fitness and develop the work already begun at Trigoria.

AS Roma touched down in the United Kingdom this evening to begin the second phase of their summer training camp in Wales. The Giallorossi's arrival drew an enthusiastic welcome from supporters, with new Argentine signing Daniele Aloisi among the most celebrated players as he signed autographs for fans. The Welsh leg of pre-season marks a key juncture in Roma's preparations ahead of the new campaign. The club is also expecting further squad additions, with defender Koulierakis due to undergo medical examinations in Rome imminently. With Cardiff featuring prominently in the upcoming schedule, the focus will be on assessing fitness levels and tactical cohesion among the expanded squad as Roma continues to shape the group under their management structure.

Konstantinos Koulierakis will undergo medical tests in Rome tomorrow after all regulatory approvals were secured, becoming Roma's second summer signing. The Greek defender joins from Wolfsburg on a deal worth 16.5 million euros plus 1.5 million in add-ons, with the German club retaining 20 per cent of any future resale. He has already signed his contract. Meanwhile, Roma have begun the second phase of their summer preparation in Cardiff, Wales, under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The squad will remain at their Hensol base—approximately 20 kilometres from Cardiff—until 8 August, training at the WRU National Centre of Excellence and facing three friendly matches against Cardiff City, Newport County, and Brighton. Niccolò Pisilli has recovered from a calf problem and was included in the touring party, along with Robinio Vaz, who recently returned to group training. Roma are also pursuing Givairo Read, the Dutch right-back from Feyenoord. Sporting director Tony D'Amico has submitted a 25 million euro offer to open negotiations, though Read remains a target for several Premier League clubs. Read said: "If the opportunity presents itself to join a club I like, I'll be ready. I feel good physically and mentally right now. My goal is to stay in shape and prove my value on the pitch."

Roma will take on Cardiff City, a Welsh Football League Championship side, in their next fixture as they build momentum ahead of their Serie A campaign. Following their comeback win against Cannes, the Giallorossi are keen to maintain their form and keep supporters engaged. Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala are expected to feature and provide attacking threat for the club. The friendly represents an opportunity for Roma to continue preparations for the top-flight season in the best possible shape. The club will aim to avoid disappointment and carry positive results into their league opener. Fans can watch the match on either free-to-air television or via DAZN, with full team news and kickoff details available for planning.
