Roma pursue triple transfer swoop as Tresoldi gives green light but Bruges demand high fee

Manchester United have moved aggressively for Roma midfielder Manu Koné after abandoning their pursuit of Atalanta's Ederson, with Arsenal and Newcastle also circling the French midfielder. Koné's performances at the World Cup have established him on the international stage, prompting a flurry of interest from Premier League clubs. An official offer is expected imminently on the Friedkin Group's desk. Roma's ownership has set a firm stance: they will not consider any proposal below €50 million. The figure is significant for the club's financial planning, as a sale at that level would provide decisive impetus to the balance sheet before the end of July, aligning with the Settlement Agreement deadline with UEFA. Koné, born in 2001, recorded a 92% pass completion rate and won 100% of his tackles in Roma's most recent World Cup match against Morocco, underlining the quality that has attracted top European suitors.

Roma are leading their offensive recruitment around Diego Moreira, the left-sided winger, with Strasbourg demanding €40 million to begin negotiations. The 2004-born player has impressed at Trigoria with his pace, one-on-one ability, and tactical flexibility—qualities that head coach Gasperini considers essential for his squad. Moreira played last season as a right-back and left-back as well as an attacking winger on his weaker side, with the capacity to drift centrally. However, the pursuit is complicated by Chelsea's retention of a buyback clause, which means the London club can intervene before any transfer takes place. Moreira remains the hottest lead in Roma's hunt for wing reinforcement, but the club is not placing all bets on a single target. Director D'Amico is also tracking Mika Godts of Ajax, who recorded 17 goals and 15 assists last season—numbers that have quickly attracted significant competition. Antonio Nusa of Leipzig remains a dream option. Alejandro Garnacho, available from Chelsea, continues to be monitored by Roma, though his situation is described as more complex.

Roma are preparing to announce three contract renewals in quick succession. Gianluca Mancini will extend his deal until 2029 on 3.5 million euros net per year. Zeki Çelik and Paulo Dybala are at the document exchange stage: the Turkish defender will earn 3 million euros net annually through 2029, while Dybala will sign a one-season contract with an option until 2028 worth 2.5 million euros plus bonuses. Director D'Amico has accelerated the renewal process across multiple fronts. Lorenzo Pellegrini, formally out of contract since the start of the month, faces a different timeline—there remains economic and contractual distance between the club and the captain, and he will not begin pre-season immediately as he recovers from a late-season setback. Bryan Cristante's new contract remains on hold. According to Simone Valdarchi in the Corriere della Sera, the Mancini, Çelik, and Dybala announcements are expected soon. Pellegrini's situation is more complex; talks are ongoing and a resolution will be found, but the number 7's delayed return to training reflects both the ongoing negotiations and his need for recovery time.

Roma are pursuing Bruges striker Nicolò Tresoldi as they look to strengthen their attacking department. The 2004-born centre-forward, valued at approximately €30 million by the Belgian club, is viewed by Roma's management as the ideal profile to complement Donyell Malen in the forward line. The club's strategy has shifted: Roma plan to attempt closing the deal without waiting for Artem Dovbyk's departure first. However, convincing Bruges remains a significant obstacle. Alejandro Garnacho has been offered to Roma in recent weeks, but the club would only consider the move on a loan basis, whereas Chelsea continues to pursue an outright purchase. A potential Roma move for Garnacho could only materialise later in the transfer window if the operation's terms change. Separately, Roma's season-ticket campaign has made a strong start, with 18,000 renewals already signed in the first three days. The renewal phase for existing holders runs until 23 July, with the waiting-list phase opening from 27 July. Midfielder Bryan Cristante has spoken positively about working under Gian Piero Gasperini. In an interview with Sportweek, he praised the coach's attacking approach, saying: "You run a lot, but you enjoy yourself. You understand immediately what he wants from you." Cristante also reflected on the Derby della Capitale's significance: "When I arrived at Roma they told me it was the most important match. It goes beyond three points."

Ajax have made a move for Artem Dovbyk after Roma began working on the striker's departure. Michel, the Ajax head coach who previously managed Dovbyk at Girona when the Ukrainian won the Pichicki award, has recommended the 29-year-old to the Dutch club. Roma have been seeking to offload the forward while monitoring alternatives for the role of back-up to Donyell Malen. A Spanish transfer option had been discussed, but Michel's intervention could redirect Dovbyk's future. Two significant obstacles may derail a deal: Ajax regard his wages as prohibitively high, and his age of 29 presents complications for any future resale value from the Dutch club's perspective. The structure of any agreement could prove flexible—Roma might facilitate the move by offering Dovbyk on loan while subsidising part of his salary.

Roma are accelerating their pursuit of Nicolò Tresoldi, the 2004-born Italian-German striker currently at Bruges, with the club identifying him as the ideal deputy to Donyell Malen. The move represents a strategic shift: Roma have decided to secure Tresoldi first rather than wait for Artem Dovbyk's departure, reversing their earlier plan to sell the Ukrainian forward before investing in attacking reinforcements. Bruges value Tresoldi at around 30 million euros, and Roma are moving decisively to outpace competition from Atlético Madrid. Tresoldi has impressed scouts with a combination of physicality and goalscoring instinct, earning recognition as one of Europe's most promising young talents. Dovbyk has endured a difficult season marked by injury problems and limited tactical compatibility with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, yet Roma now intend to manage his situation separately from their inbound transfer activity. The club's change in approach signals confidence in their ability to handle both the incoming move and Dovbyk's future in parallel.

Roma have made initial contact with Chelsea over Argentina winger Alejandro Garnacho, but a transfer remains complicated by the Blues' insistence on a permanent sale. Chelsea will not entertain a straight loan or loan with option to buy; the club is determined to secure a full fee from the 22-year-old's departure. Roma have valued Garnacho at approximately €40 million, with 10% of any transfer fee due to Manchester United under their original deal. Further talks between Roma and Chelsea are expected after the weekend. The pursuit reflects Roma's wider recruitment activity, though Garnacho has also attracted interest from Napoli and Como. Garnacho, a 2004-born player, spent time on holiday in the Italian capital and has expressed admiration for Roma's Paulo Dybala, adding a personal dimension to the club's interest.

Roma are working to finalize contract renewals with key players before the start of pre-season training on 13 July, with the club aiming to have all agreements settled by Monday to ensure squad stability. Zeki Çelik is close to completing a three-year extension worth approximately 3 million per season under the Growth Decree, though he will miss the opening days of pre-season due to international commitments. Paulo Dybala has also agreed to fresh terms, expected to arrive in Rome within the next day or two to sign a new one-year deal with an option for a second season, extending his fifth year at the club. Lorenzo Pellegrini's situation remains the most complicated. Despite mutual willingness from both the player and the club to continue their partnership, agreement on contract length and wages has not yet been reached. The club is pushing to accelerate negotiations and find common ground in the coming days, with the priority of ensuring Pellegrini arrives at the Monday training camp with his contractual position settled and the wider environment operating without uncertainty.

Pierluigi Gollini reported to Roma's Trigoria training ground on Thursday morning, three days before the official start of pre-season scheduled for Monday, 13 July. The goalkeeper confirmed his early arrival via an Instagram story, joining Wesley in showing eagerness ahead of the 2026–27 campaign. Both players' enthusiasm underscores the squad's preparation for the new season. Gollini had recently appeared at El Shaarawy's wedding alongside teammates Mancini and Cristante, whose contracts expire in 2027, and Pellegrini, who is awaiting a contract renewal. The gathering reflected the close-knit atmosphere within the squad as players gear up for pre-season, with several key members keen to resolve outstanding contract matters. The official raduno at Trigoria will formally launch Roma's preparations for the campaign ahead.

Roma's search for wide players has widened beyond Dan Ndoye of Nottingham Forest, with director Tony D'Amico now also scouting Can Uzun of Eintracht Frankfurt. The 20-year-old Turkish attacking midfielder is viewed as an emerging international talent and appeals to head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. D'Amico has initiated contact with Frankfurt and Uzun's representatives to explore a deal; the player carries a valuation of approximately €45 million, though room for negotiation exists. Roma had previously dismissed suggestions of chasing Mason Greenwood, instead prioritising established players at realistic fees. Any acceleration in these pursuits will follow the official renewal of contracts for Paulo Dybala, Zeki Çelik, and Lorenzo Pellegrini, as well as extensions for Gianluca Mancini (through 2030) and Bryan Cristante (through 2029). Ndoye, an experienced operator in Italian football from his time at Bologna, contrasts with Uzun, a fresh prospect attracting interest from multiple clubs. Uzun, represented by the same agents as fellow Roma target Nicolò Tresoldi, has played two World Cup appearances for Turkey—60 minutes against Paraguay and 6 minutes against the United States. In the Bundesliga, he has emerged as one of the league's finest young talents over the past two seasons. D'Amico will continue dialogue with the German club regarding improved terms.
