Roma complete Oosterwolde signing from Fenerbahçe

Jayden Oosterwolde is set to become Roma's fifth summer signing, with the transfer from Fenerbahçe finalized. The Dutch defender will arrive on a loan deal worth €1 million, with a right of purchase valued at €15 million plus €2 million in bonuses. Crucially, the right transforms into an obligation to buy if Oosterwolde reaches 15 appearances of at least 45 minutes each during the season—a clause that ties the permanent transfer directly to his playing time. Oosterwolde is recovering from a muscle injury but has already resumed running and will soon link up with his new teammates under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The 25-year-old left-back joins a squad that has been actively strengthened this summer as Roma prepare for the 2026–27 season. In a farewell message to Fenerbahçe, Oosterwolde told A Spor: "I am sad to leave Fenerbahçe, unfortunately the decision has been made to send me away." He added: "I love the Fenerbahçe fans, please continue to support the team." Oosterwolde will travel first to the Netherlands before heading to Rome to begin his new adventure.

Jonathan Rowe is set to join Atalanta for more than €30 million after a strong season at Bologna last year. Before closing the deal for Santiago Castro, Bologna had proposed the English winger to Roma's sporting director D'Amico, according to Alfredo Pedullà. Roma appreciated Rowe's profile but chose to pursue other targets and secure the financial terms to bring in a backup to Malen instead. The Giallorossi remain in search of a right-footed winger after the operation to sign Jayden Oosterwolde, who will arrive in the capital in the coming hours for medical examinations and to sign his contract.

Alessandro Romano scored on his Serie A debut for Cagliari against Parma this summer, immediately attracting attention from Italy's national team coach Roberto Mancini, who watched him from the stands at the Tardini. The midfielder, born in Winterthur, Switzerland, to an Italian family, holds dual citizenship and has previously represented Swiss youth sides but has not yet played for the Swiss senior team. Mancini has already begun efforts to persuade Romano to choose Italy over Switzerland. Romano's journey began when Bruno Conti spotted him in 2022 and brought him to Roma's Trigoria academy. The midfielder progressed through the Giallorossi system with strong form at Under-18 level, recording six goals and eight assists in 30 appearances, and worked closely with former manager Daniele De Rossi during his development with the first team. After making his professional debut in the closing stages of Lecce–Roma last season under Gian Piero Gasperini, Romano was loaned to Spezia in January 2025, then sent on a temporary deal to Cagliari this summer under manager Pisacane, with a purchase option that will automatically convert to an obligation. Romano described De Rossi as an "exceptional" coach and cited the chance to observe midfielder Leandro Paredes as formative. Speaking about his international future, he said: "It is not a priority." The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) is pushing to secure his talents. His opening goal for Cagliari and immediate first-team selection have already sparked regret among Roma supporters on social media, who lament yet another academy graduate being allowed to depart too soon.
