Roma targets nearly 20 attacking options to strengthen forward line

Roma's pursuit of Brazilian forward Endrick has become significantly more complicated. Despite the club's interest shown in recent weeks, the young attacker now appears set to continue his season away from Serie A. Real Madrid have decided to loan Endrick out, but have opted to send him to the Premier League rather than Serie A, effectively closing the door on Roma's interest. The decision blocks Roma's path to securing an attacking reinforcement for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The club must now look elsewhere for the forward they hoped to bring in. According to journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon, writing for RadioMarca and LaGalerna, the Premier League destination chosen by Madrid's hierarchy has left Roma's management forced to redirect their search for an offensive option to strengthen the squad.

Roma's pursuit of Endrick has stalled, with Real Madrid opting to send the Brazilian talent on loan to the Premier League rather than Italy. According to RadioMarca and LaGalerna, the Spanish club have decided against a move to the Giallorossi, closing the door on a transfer that had been on Roma's radar for several weeks. The development represents another setback in Roma's attempts to strengthen their attacking options this summer. The club will now need to redirect their recruitment efforts elsewhere as Endrick remains out of reach. Real Madrid's preference for a Premier League destination over a Serie A move underlines the competitive landscape for loan placements at elite level.

Evan Ferguson could return to Italian football. The 21-year-old Irish striker, currently sidelined by an ankle injury sustained in January, spent time on loan at Roma last season but has not featured since. According to Football Insider, Torino have opened talks with Brighton to sign Ferguson, with the English club open to discussing his departure. Ferguson's Roma spell was disappointing and cut short by injury. He arrived on loan from Brighton during the 2025–26 season but struggled to make an impact before the ankle problem ended his time at the Stadio Olimpico. Torino have identified him as an attacking reinforcement, in a move that coincides with Roma's own interest in acquiring Torino's Cacciamani.
