Rome Police Chief Says Derby and Tennis Finals Can Be Managed Simultaneously

Source: Forza Roma

Rome's police chief has confirmed that security arrangements can be put in place to manage the Derby della Capitale between AS Roma and SS Lazio on 17 May alongside the finals of the Internazionali tennis tournament at the Foro Italico on the same day. The scheduling conflict has raised concerns among security officials given the scale of both events.

Questore Roberto Massucci stated: "It is not necessary to be a security expert to understand that it would be better if there were no overlap. But despite that, we are capable of doing anything, even managing two events of such magnitude together." He added that a decision on the final date and kick-off time would be made in the coming week once all stakeholders' requirements have been considered.

The derby was originally scheduled for mid-May, creating the potential for a clash with the tennis final. While Massucci acknowledged that ideally the two major sporting events would not occur simultaneously, Rome's security infrastructure is deemed sufficient to handle both without compromise.

Roma shift focus to left-back as Fofana deal stalls; Henrique in crosshairs

Roma's transfer priorities have shifted following the completion of Rodrigo Mora's signing. The club is now concentrating efforts on the left-back position and has deprioritised other targets, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto. Interest in Malick Fofana has cooled considerably. Roma had an agreement in place with the Belgian winger but has not given Lyon the go-ahead to negotiate further. A proposed deal worth €35 million plus add-ons was deemed excessive by the club. After restructuring the terms to bring Mora to the capital, the Fofana operation has been sidelined. Similarly, pressure on Alessio Cacciamani has been relaxed as Roma refocus their efforts elsewhere. Luis Henrique has become the priority target, with Roma now pressing hard on that front. The challenge now is to find agreement on the financial terms between player and club.
