Roma's pursuit of several attacking targets has shifted dramatically on the final day of the transfer window. Malick Fofana, whom Roma had long courted, has joined Sunderland in a deal worth €30 million plus bonuses. The focus has now turned to Mandela Keita, the 24-year-old Parma midfielder, with discussions under way between Roma and the club over a potential move, though Everton are also following the player closely in the closing hours of the window.
Two Juventus players—Nico Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners, both 28—were proposed to Roma in recent days, but the club decided not to pursue either. Gonzalez's negotiations never truly took off, while Koopmeiners did not fit the club's plans, and both will remain at Turin. The most significant setback came with Jamie Leweling. Roma had reached an agreement with Stuttgart and was waiting only for the 25-year-old German's approval, but he has chosen to stay at Stuttgart, rejecting proposals from Roma and other clubs, including a late offer from Everton overnight.
With Leweling's door now closed, Roma have revived their interest in Luiz Henrique, the 25-year-old Brazilian winger. Negotiations suffered a setback on 31 August over agent fees, but talks remain active. Roma have already agreed terms with Zenit on the structure: a loan with a €5 million fee and a €30 million purchase option. The club is keeping the Brazilian alternative alive as the window enters its final stretch.
The transfer market closes at 20:00 today (1 September 2026). Roma and all other Serie A clubs have only hours remaining to complete their business.

Roma are attempting to sign Gittens regardless of the outcome of the Manu Koné situation. Following head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's firm rejection of selling the French midfielder, a stance the club's ownership communicated to Chelsea, Roma are now pushing ahead for the English winger, who is a priority target for Gasperini.
Roma are intensifying their efforts to sign Jamie Bynoe-Gittens from Chelsea as Gian Piero Gasperini's preferred attacking winger, with contacts ongoing between the clubs. The key stumbling block remains Chelsea's reluctance to allow a loan deal, which is the decisive point Roma are seeking to unlock. As the transfer window deadline approaches, Roma are working to find the right formula to persuade Chelsea to agree, with the outcome to be decided in the coming hours. Meanwhile, the separate prospect of Manu Koné joining Chelsea appears to be collapsing, with the Blues shifting their attention to other midfield targets. That collapse, however, has not deterred Roma from their pursuit of Gittens. D'Amico is reportedly trying to negotiate the terms that would lead to a successful conclusion of the deal.
Gian Piero Gasperini has blocked Roma's sale of Manu Koné to Chelsea, with the club halting negotiations despite initial contact from the English side. Chelsea were prepared to offer €60 million for the midfielder, but Gasperini exercised an absolute veto on any departure.
