Roma close to Koulierakis deal; Ezzalzouli move stalls; Galantic named new CEO

Roma are maintaining their interest in Endrick, the 2006-born striker currently owned by Real Madrid, as they look to add further reinforcements to their attacking department this summer. The move would follow Roma's acquisition of Santiago Castro, with Endrick identified as one of several targets on the club's shortlist. Endrick recently featured for Brazil at the World Cup and spent the previous season on loan at Lyon. Real Madrid are open to allowing the forward to leave on loan again to secure more regular playing time. Roma's interest forms part of a broader summer recruitment plan as the club seeks to strengthen its offensive options under the direction of recruitment staff.

Roma continue to monitor Endrick as a potential offensive reinforcement, with Real Madrid open to sending the 2006-born Brazilian forward out on loan to gain playing time. The 18-year-old has struggled for opportunities at the Bernabéu and the Spanish club are keen to develop him through a temporary move. Endrick returns from a successful spell at Lyon and is now being tracked by the Giallorossi alongside other attacking targets. Roma's transfer activity is accelerating following the imminent arrival of Castro, with defender Koulierakis close to joining the club as well. Bolstering the attacking department remains the priority for the Giallorossi, and Endrick fits the profile of a young talent capable of adding depth to the squad. Real Madrid's willingness to loan the Brazilian opens a potential pathway for Roma to secure his services without a permanent investment.

Riccardo Pagano has completed a permanent departure from AS Roma, joining Serie B side Cesena. The academy graduate's exit marks the end of his time at the Giallorossi after a succession of loan moves away from the club. Roma confirmed the transfer through a social media post: 'Pagano sold to Cesena. Good luck, Riccardo!' Pagano's departure represents another chapter in the ongoing management of Roma's youth development pathway. Having progressed through the club's academy system, he was unable to establish himself in the first team and spent time away on loan before now securing a permanent exit. The move to Cesena offers him the prospect of regular senior football in Italy's second tier.
