Roma push hard on multiple fronts: Mora bid, Fofana complication, Endrick pressing

Source: Forza Roma

Roma are accelerating their transfer activity ahead of the new season, with head coach Gasperini keen to reinforce the attacking department after a 3–0 friendly win over Brighton. Director D'Amico is working on multiple targets including Endrick, Fofana, and Rodrigo Mora. Porto's Mora, a 2007-born playmaker, is the subject of an official loan offer from Roma, reportedly at 5 million plus a 45 million euro right of purchase, against Porto's 50 million demand. Roma hope to secure approval from Porto between today and tomorrow and are ahead of Galatasaray in the chase, though sources indicate Mora was previously close to joining the Turkish club. The Fofana pursuit may face complications; Leipzig are pressing hard for the Lyon winger at the same time, after the Norwegian Nusa (for whom Leipzig are holding firm at 60 million euros). Media reports suggest the two transactions are linked through agent involvement following Leipzig's record sale of Diomande, which triggered a disagreement between rival agencies including Roc Nation over commission splits. Fofana's representatives reportedly proposed him to Leipzig. Roma are also considering PSG's Mbaye, a versatile 2007-born right winger available on loan, and continue pursuing Endrick, the Real Madrid forward (class of 2006) who would prefer to join Roma but faces limited playing time at the Spanish club and could leave on loan. Chelsea may return to the table for Koné if Enzo Fernández departs Manchester City.

Roma to make fresh offer for Cacciamani as Torino stance softens

Roma will launch a new bid for left-back Alessio Cacciamani in the coming days after Torino's initial resistance to his departure has begun to ease. The Giallorossi have been working on the deal for several days and have already seen a €13 million offer rejected, with Torino demanding at least €20 million. Sporting director D'Amico is preparing to increase Roma's bid to accelerate a move before the season begins, with head coach Gasperini keen to strengthen the squad in that position. Torino's technical director Gianluca Petrachi acknowledged the possibility of Cacciamani's departure, stating: "We would like to continue with lads like him, but we also have to reckon with a market that sometimes presents absurd prices, mad ones, that you simply cannot take into account." However, Petrachi added that the club remains committed to retaining the player, saying: "Our intention is to keep him." Despite Torino president Cairo's public position, Petrachi's comments suggest there is room for negotiation. Gasperini and D'Amico are hopeful the fresh offer will finally break Torino's resistance and bring Cacciamani to the Olimpico.

Roma move for Rodrigo Mora: offer ready for Porto

Roma are accelerating their pursuit of Porto midfielder Rodrigo Mora, a 2007-born playmaker and winger, with the intention to finalize the signing in the coming days. The club has reportedly edged out Galatasaray's interest and is pushing for Porto's approval between today and tomorrow. Mora, 19, is known as Porto's youngest debut-maker in the club's history. The push for an attacking reinforcement comes after difficulties that emerged during Roma's recent British tour, prompting head coach Gian Piero Gasperini to request additional offensive firepower. Porto have set their valuation at €50 million. Roma have submitted an initial proposal structured as a loan worth €5 million with a right of purchase set at €45 million, aiming to wrap up the deal as quickly as possible. The Roma hierarchy are determined to complete the operation in minimal time, with the window for negotiation expected to close imminently.

Roma pursue Porto teenager Rodrigo Mora as Galatasaray hesitates

Roma are pushing to sign Porto attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora, a 19-year-old born in 2007 and the youngest debutant in Porto's history. The club has offered a loan deal plus a €45 million right of purchase, against Porto's €50 million asking price, and hopes to secure approval from the Portuguese club between 9 and 10 August. Galatasaray had also been close to signing Mora but are delaying their move while awaiting a response to an offer made to Russian midfielder Batrakov, creating an opening for Roma to accelerate their pursuit. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has identified an attacking winger as a priority following Roma's pre-season tour of Wales and England. Multiple sources, including journalist Alfredo Pedullà, have confirmed Roma's interest in Mora, with some reports suggesting the club would not rule out alternative targets like Endrick. Roma have moved ahead of Galatasaray in the race for the Portuguese teenager and are keen to finalise the deal quickly, with the club reportedly in a race against time to complete negotiations.
