Roma bid for Oosterwolde with €20m package as search for winger continues

Rodrigo Taddei, the former Roma midfielder, has welcomed fellow Portuguese player Rodrigo Mora to the club in a video message posted on Roma's official channels. Taddei, who spent nine seasons at Roma and became one of the most beloved players among supporters, delivered a brief but heartfelt greeting to Mora, the new arrival to Gian Piero Gasperini's squad. "For Rodrigo, my namesake. I am here to wish you good luck, may God bless you and may you be able to achieve all your dreams with our magical Roma. Come on Roma always, a big hug," Taddei said in the video. The welcome message comes as Mora begins his Roma adventure, arriving just days after confirming his transfer to the Giallorossi. Taddei's greeting carries special weight given his deep understanding of what it means to wear the Roma shirt.

Gasperini confirmed Wesley fit to start in Roma's opening match against Fiorentina after the Brazilian trained with the squad and shook off a minor issue from recent days. Wesley is expected to replicate his debut performance against Bologna. The only remaining selection question in attack centres on Gasperini's choice between Mora and Soulé. In the transfer market, Roma are pursuing Chelsea winger Gittens, though the London club are resisting a loan deal and demanding a permanent move. The situation is complicated by the wider transfer movements at Chelsea, particularly involving Mudryk, whose future could directly influence the Blues' stance on Gittens. Luis Henrique remains the leading target on the left flank, with Oosterwolde also back on Roma's radar. Rodrigo Taddei visited Trigoria to welcome his namesake, offering a special greeting to the incoming Portuguese player.

Mora is the most anticipated arrival in Roma's summer transfer market. The Portuguese player, described as talented and eager to prove himself in a new environment, has been selected by Gasperini for the debut fixture against Fiorentina. Mora is keen to make an immediate impact at the Olimpico and begin writing his story in giallorosso colours. Mora's surname echoes that of Rodrigo Taddei, the Brazilian who spent years as a cornerstone of Roma's squad under managers including Spalletti and Garcia. Taddei built a special bond with supporters through his performances, goals, and commitment to the club. Today Taddei returned to Trigoria, where he left a welcoming message for his namesake: "I am here to wish you good luck, may God bless you and may you be able to realise all your dreams with our magical Roma. Much success. Forza Roma always". Mora will take the field on Monday. Taddei will be watching.
