Roma thrash Primavera 6-0 in pre-season friendly

Roma's 2026–27 season officially began with a 6–0 friendly win over the Primavera under Mattia Scala, played in four 20-minute periods. Paulo Dybala and Artem Dovbyk scored twice each, with Matías Soulé and Bryan Cristante also on the scoresheet under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Crysencio Summerville is emerging as Roma's primary summer transfer target. The club has reached a tentative agreement with the Dutch winger but must negotiate with West Ham, who rejected an initial offer of €40 million plus €5 million in bonuses. Roma are preparing a counter-bid and are considering paying the €53 million release clause in Summerville's contract. The player has reportedly reduced his wage demands, with Roma offering €4 million annually plus bonuses to seal the deal. Meanwhile, director D'Amico continues working to secure contract renewals for Gasperini's squad. Gianluca Mancini, Paulo Dybala and Bryan Cristante have all signed new deals, but Lorenzo Pellegrini's renewal remains unsigned. Roma supporters have displayed a banner at Trigoria urging the club to complete Pellegrini's contract: "Making a mistake can happen, repeating it means negligence. Let's hold Lorenzo tight." The message echoes concerns over Zeki Çelik's summer departure to Juventus. Elsewhere, Manu Koné has attracted interest from Manchester United and other top European clubs following strong displays at the World Cup; Roma will not consider offers below €50–60 million, having rejected Atlético Madrid's €43 million bid in June.

Roma cruised to a 6–0 victory over the Primavera in their first friendly of the new season, with Artem Dovbyk and Paulo Dybala each scoring twice. Bryan Cristante and Matías Soulé added the other goals. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini used the match to assess his squad after the opening week of pre-season training. One concern emerged when Mario Hermoso left the pitch after a knock to the knee; his condition will be monitored. On the transfer front, Roma has accelerated pursuit of Summerville and is preparing a second offer to the Dutch target following an initial rejection. These are described as decisive hours for the move. Meanwhile, negotiations over Moreira remain stalled, with Strasbourg holding firm in their stance.
