Roma set prices for Soulé and Ziółkowski as Premier League clubs circle

Roma are preparing a concrete move for Belgian forward Moreira, a 2004-born prospect, with an offer of €30 million plus 10 per cent of any future resale. However, the package falls short of Strasbourg's valuation, with the French club demanding roughly €50 million. Agent Jorge Mendes is working to find a formula that will persuade Strasbourg to negotiate. Moreira was left on the bench in a recent match and has just been eliminated from the World Cup by Spain. The teenager has emerged as Roma's primary attacking target this window. The gap between the two clubs' valuations remains substantial, though Mendes' involvement suggests ongoing dialogue. Moreira's availability for transfer discussions was constrained while competing in the World Cup; his elimination means he can now focus fully on his future and potential moves.

Roma are exploring a move for Alejandro Garnacho following the Mason Greenwood situation, with director Tony D'Amico having made contact with the winger's representatives. Chelsea regard Garnacho as available, but the club's preference is a permanent sale. Roma have no intention or financial capacity to pursue a permanent deal at present, leaving a loan move as the sole realistic option under discussion. Work continues behind the scenes on other right-wing targets classified as Champions League-calibre players. Leipzig's Nusa and Paris Saint-Germain's Mbaye are under consideration, while Ajax's Godts—who operates mainly on the left—has resurfaced as a possibility. Director D'Amico has also sounded out Dan Ndoye and Eintracht Frankfurt's Can Uzun, an emerging international playmaker. Como's Diao, who could leave the club, remains on the radar despite competition from Galatasaray. Manu Koné has impressed at international level with France, bolstering his standing at the club. Meanwhile, Roma have experienced a significant uptick in season-ticket sales, signalling renewed supporter confidence heading into the new campaign.

Manchester United has abandoned its pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson following doubts over the Brazilian's physical condition. Atalanta, however, remains confident the player has no fitness issues and is prepared to reintegrate him into the squad. With Ederson off the table, United is now actively exploring alternatives in midfield—and the search has turned toward Roma's Manu Koné. The French midfielder has attracted interest from the English club in recent days, particularly from media coverage in England. Koné's involvement with his national team at the World Cup could work in Roma's favour, potentially enabling the club to secure a higher transfer fee. The collapse of United's Ederson pursuit may now reignite the club's interest in Koné, opening a fresh pathway for the transfer.

Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has identified a centre-back as a priority addition to Roma's squad, according to his list of targets presented to ownership. The search is not limited to attacking reinforcements; Gasperini wants an experienced central defender aged 28 or above to serve as a deputy to Mario Hermoso, giving the Spanish defender rest when needed. He has ruled out pursuing young prospects requiring development, such as Jan Ziółkowski, in favour of an established player. Roma enquired about Leo Ostigard in recent weeks, though the Norwegian would only arrive if Evan N'Dicka departs the club—a scenario ruled out with N'Dicka currently viewed as non-transferable. The defensive overhaul is not urgent, with attacking reinforcements taking priority in the coming window. However, the backline will be reinforced before the season progresses further.

Roma have turned down a €50 million bid from Chelsea for goalkeeper Mile Svilar as the club works to generate €50 million in player sales before the June 30th deadline for Financial Fair Play compliance. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini would prefer to retain all his squad options, but Roma plan to sell excess players before considering departures from their core contingent of Matías Soulé, Manu Koné, or Evan N'Dicka. The Svilar offer is the only substantial proposal received for one of Roma's star players so far. Roma are also waiting for director Tony D'Amico to complete his exit from Atalanta. The club has already generated modest revenue from loans: Lens purchased Saud Abdülhamid for €3.5 million, while Elche paid €4.5 million for Buba Sangarè. PSV will retain Anass Salah-Eddine if offered a discount on their €8 million option. Nottingham Forest have expressed interest in defender Jan Ziółkowski, whom Roma value at €15 million after spending €6.5 million to sign him last summer. Other potential departures include Tommaso Baldanzi, Marash Kumbulla, and academy prospects Luigi Cherubini and Riccardo Pagano, who spent the previous season on loan. Roma are reportedly negotiating with UEFA to secure an extra year to meet their settlement agreement, which could ease pressure on the current window's sales targets.
