Roma rank third in Serie A squad valuations as market value climbs

Roma have scored 28 goals in their first ten matches of the 2026-27 season, a club record, after a 5-3 win at Udinese. The tally surpasses the previous record of 26 goals, set in 1960/61 and 2016/17, and the goals have come from a wide spread of players rather than relying on Donyell Malen, although he is leading the side. Under Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma have become a side that is always dangerous and always able to finish, with many matches won by at least four goals across Serie A and the Champions League. Roma have scored with 14 different players so far: Malen, Niccolò Pisilli, Manu Koné, Matías Soulé, Mario Hermoso, Emanuele Lulli, Rodrigo Mora, Bryan Cristante, Marten de Roon, Santiago Castro, Nahuel Molina and Leonardo Balerdi. Evan N'Dicka and Daniele Ghilardi also scored against Udinese and join that list. The results are reflected in the table: 24 points from ten matches, the club's best start since 2013. Last season Roma had 21 points at this stage, and two seasons ago they had just 13. To find similar numbers, you have to go back to 2022, when Mourinho reached 22 points. The Udinese victory was not simply a big win but proof of a team that scores with a consistency never seen before at the club. The 28 goals in the opening ten rounds represent a milestone the club had never reached, and the tally was built across Serie A and the Champions League alike.

Evan Ndicka said Roma eased off after going 4-0 up at half-time in their 10th-round Serie A win at Udinese, but were pleased to secure the three points at the Bluenergy Stadium. The defender spoke to reporters after the match, which Roma dominated in the first half before failing to sustain the same level after the interval. Asked what went wrong in the second half and how important the three points were, Ndicka said: "Obviously, when you close the first half winning 4-0, considering also the many matches we are playing, I don't want to say we already have our minds on the next games, but we dropped the pace a little. In the end, though, we won, and that is the most important thing." The result keeps Roma's campaign moving through a demanding run of fixtures, with the squad facing a crowded calendar. Ndicka was also asked about scoring in Udine and what it meant to close a circle after what happened there two years ago. He replied: "Yes, a circle is closing. I am very happy with my goal in Udine, also because of what happened, but above all I am happy for the team and for these three points." His remarks put the emphasis on collective success over personal milestones, with the victory the key takeaway for a Roma side that took a commanding lead before the break.
