Roma ready 45 million offer for Greenwood as Marseille convenes squad

Endrick's future remains uncertain as the Brazilian forward prepares to leave Real Madrid in January after receiving minimal playing time this season, despite José Mourinho blocking his departure in summer. Roma remain strongly interested in the 20-year-old, though multiple obstacles must be resolved. The attacker is weighing several options, and according to Cadena Ser, competition for his signature is intense. Beyond Roma, Lyon are also ready to welcome Endrick — repeating their interest from January last year — but Aston Villa's bid is gaining momentum. Emery's side have set their sights on the forward, and the prospect of Champions League football could sway him toward the Premier League club if Villa maintain their promise in that regard.

Roma made a concrete bid of €25 million for Flamengo winger Samuel Lino during the summer transfer window, but the Brazilian club rejected the offer and chose to retain the player as central to their project. Lino fits the precise profile Gian Piero Gasperini has been seeking: a left-sided winger who plays with inverted footwork and can operate wide on the flank. This summer's approach was not Roma's first attempt to sign him. In the summer of 2025, when Lino was at Atlético Madrid, Roma reached a broad agreement with the Spanish club worth approximately €22 million plus bonuses, and personal terms with the player for a four-year deal at around €2.5 million per season. That deal did not reach completion because Lino would have occupied a non-EU slot, and Gasperini opted to keep that registration spot available to pursue either Richard Rios or Wesley instead. Lino subsequently joined Flamengo, but Roma maintained their interest. In the current transfer window, Roma's sporting director attempted to revive negotiations with a significant formal proposal. However, Flamengo declined the €25 million offer. This summer, Lino has delivered nine goals and seven assists in 27 appearances in Brazil's championship, reinforcing his standing as one of Flamengo's most productive players. The rejected bid underscores Roma's continued search for an attacking option of Lino's type to complete Gasperini's attack, and demonstrates how the player has remained on the club's radar across multiple transfer windows despite two failed attempts to secure his signature.

Roma made a €25 million bid for Flamengo winger Samuel Lino this summer, but the Brazilian club turned it down. The move represented another attempt by head coach Gian Piero Gasperini to land the left-sided winger he has sought since his arrival at the club. Lino, a right-footed left winger born in 1999, registered 9 goals and 7 assists in 27 appearances in the Brazilian league. The 27-year-old had already attracted Roma's attention last season while at Atlético Madrid. At that time, despite a four-year contract worth €2.5 million per year and a €22 million fee to Atlético on the table, Gasperini vetoed the move. He wanted to preserve the non-EU player slot for either Rios or Wesley. Lino subsequently joined Flamengo, where he remains, though Roma's interest in him continues.
