Roma face competition from Atlético Madrid for Mason Greenwood, the Marseille winger, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini pressing the club to formalise a concrete offer in the coming days. Gasperini is determined not to repeat the disappointment of the Jadon Sancho case, and Roma's sporting director Tony D'Amico is under pressure to move quickly. Atlético boss Diego Simeone has shown strong interest, but the Spanish club must sell an attacker first — a factor that could work in Roma's favour. Vice-president Ryan Friedkin has been actively involved in recent discussions with Gasperini.
Roma's ownership has assured Gasperini of substantial financial backing, committing to invest up to 100 million euros in transfers. The deal for Greenwood could close for less than 50 million euros, a threshold that initially seemed insurmountable. Roma are planning to offer between 40 and 45 million euros in total, including bonuses, though Marseille remain in reflection over the proposal.
Meanwhile, Roma are exploring exits to balance the books. Genoa, managed by Daniele De Rossi, are interested in striker Artem Dovbyk, who De Rossi previously managed and recruited during his time at Roma. After initial doubts, Roma are now evaluating a loan move for the Ukrainian, with Dovbyk's salary emerging as a key obstacle to any deal.
