Sabaudia: The natural film set beloved by celebrities from Totti to Bellucci

Roma are among the clubs most interested in Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs, according to the Belgian outlet Voetbalnieuws, as sporting director D'Amico looks to add an attacking winger for Gian Piero Gasperini in January. Before Roma's match against Sassuolo, D'Amico admitted he wanted to give Gasperini an attacking winger in the January window and had already started looking for the right profile. Alongside Bynoe-Gittens and Endrick, whose names were already known, Forbs has emerged as a serious target. The Portuguese winger is ready for the next step in his career, and his departure from Club Brugge in the summer is described as practically certain. A move in January is more complicated, but D'Amico could still open talks early to get ahead of the competition. Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Fiorentina are also tracking the 2004-born player. This season, Forbs has scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in 14 appearances across the league and the Champions League.

Francesco Totti and Luciano Spalletti have reunited on set to film a new advert for Amaro Montenegro, which began airing on television yesterday. This time the shoot took place at the estate of the Juventus coach in the hills of Montaione, Tuscany. Totti, Roma's former captain, was also invited to dinner by Spalletti, his former manager at Roma, after years of frost between the two men that have since given way to a friendly relationship. The pair have worked together on earlier spots for the brand, and the advert marks another step in a rapport that has been rebuilt over time. Totti's return to the Roma orbit, and his ties with a coach who once led the club, continue to keep the former captain's connection with the Giallorossi in the public eye. Totti said: "Di spot in spot direi che ci stiamo ritrovando. Mi sono divertito, e ho notato che al mister piace ancora vedermi faticare." ("From spot to spot, I'd say we're getting back together. I enjoyed myself, and I've noticed the boss still likes seeing me work hard.") Spalletti added in a statement: "Per girare lo spot ho invitato Francesco a casa mia; un'occasione in più per riparlare delle nostre storie, di calcio e soprattutto di vita vera. È stato bello ritrovarsi non solo sul set ma anche a tavola insieme a tanti amici." ("To film the spot I invited Francesco to my home; an extra chance to talk again about our stories, about football and above all about real life. It was lovely to meet up not only on set but also at the table together with many friends.")

Turkish newspaper Sozcu reported that Francesco Totti had taken a consultancy role in the sporting area at Fenerbahce, claiming he had met the club's president in Istanbul the previous day to discuss the details. Fenerbahce have firmly rejected the story, and the claims are not true, according to the club's official statement. According to the club's account, Totti is currently in Kuwait, and a stop in Istanbul was only a stopover during his journey. There was no meeting with the president and no agreement with Fenerbahce. The club issued a harsh official statement calling the report completely without foundation, and it criticised the media outlets that spread the reports without first verifying them. The Sozcu story was headlined "The football mind of Fenerbahce" and was subsequently picked up by other news organisations citing the same newspaper. Fenerbahce's statement, published on 9 November 2026, asked those outlets to act in line with journalistic principles and a sense of responsibility. Totti spent his entire playing career at Roma, from 1992 to 2017, scoring 307 goals, and his number 10 shirt has been retired by the club.

Roma's Primavera side closed their pre-break fixture with a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona at the Tre Fontane. Arduini gave Roma the lead in the 12th minute, bundling home a rebound after a shot from Arena was saved. Verona equalised early in the second half, when Garofalo met a cross from Contarini in the 48th minute. Roma controlled possession in the first half and came close to a second goal through Corredera, while Verona hit the woodwork through Peci. The hosts were the better side before the interval, and coach Mattia Scala's team lost focus after the second half changes, including the substitution of goalkeeper Marcaccini for Kilvinger in the 58th minute. Forced changes disrupted the side's rhythm as the game wore on. In the closing stages Di Nunzio went close to winning it for Roma, but Raccanello made a fine save to preserve the draw for Verona. Roma had to settle for a point despite a good performance, especially in the first half. The side now have the international break to recover and prepare for their next fixtures. Roma started with Marcaccini; Bonifazi, Paul, Zinni; Loreti, Arduini, Di Nunzio, Cama; Corredera, Maccaroni; Arena. Verona lined up with Raccanello; Garofalo, Contarini, Casagrande; Compaore, Moisa, Akalé, Albertini, Tagne; Costa Pisani, Peci. Verona's coach is Massimo Pavanel.

Roma host Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico looking to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester United and to secure a third straight win. Gian Piero Gasperini has named Leonardo Balerdi in defence in place of the injured Gianluca Mancini. Manu Koné returns to the starting midfield after almost a month out with injury, and the Champions League front three of Rodrigo Mora and Matías Soulé behind Donyell Malen is retained. Roma line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation: Vásquez; Balerdi, N'Dicka, Hermoso; Molina, Koné, Cristante, Wesley; Soulé, Mora; Malen. Sassuolo, coached by Aquilani, play a 4-4-2: Muric; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Caleta-Car, Cinquegrano; Sulemana, Matic, Thorstvedt, Doig; Laurienté, Esposito. The Roma substitutes are De Marzi, Kilvinger, Koulierakis, Ghilardi, Lulli, De Roon, Pisilli, Castro, Maccaroni and Arena. Sassuolo's bench includes Turati, Satalino, Candé, Van der Brempt, Odenthal, Obrador, Adzic, Bakola, Lipani, Ghion, Berardi, Bowie, Skjellerup and Pierini. The referee is Di Bello, with assistants Peretti and Scatragli. The fourth official is Abisso, the VAR is Pezzuto and the AVAR is Guida.

Roma host Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico this evening in Serie A's eleventh matchday, looking to bounce back quickly from the painful comeback they suffered against Manchester United in the Champions League and to stay in the top reaches of the table. Gian Piero Gasperini's side are without Mile Svilar, Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Devyne Rensch, while Pierluigi Gollini is not yet fully fit and is expected to give way again to Devis Vásquez. Sassuolo, coached by Alberto Aquilani, arrive without Berardi and Volpato and after four consecutive league defeats. Gasperini is expected to keep Vásquez in goal, with Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka and Mario Hermoso in defence. Nahuel Molina is favoured on the right flank, while Matías Soulé and Rodrigo Mora are set to operate behind Donyell Malen up front. Manu Koné is back available and is expected to start. The probable Roma formation is a 3-4-2-1: Vásquez; Balerdi, N'Dicka, Hermoso; Molina, Cristante, Koné, Wesley; Soulé, Mora; Malen. The Roma bench lists De Marzi, Kilvinger, Ghilardi, Koulierakis, Lulli, De Roon, Pisilli, Di Nunzio, Castro, Arena and Maccaroni. Sassuolo line up in a 3-4-2-1 as well: Turati; Walukiewicz, Idzes, Candé; Cinquegrano, Matic, Thorstvedt, Doig; Esposito, Laurienté; Bowie. Their bench includes Muric, Satalino, Van der Brempt, Odenthal, Caleta-Car, Obrador, Ghion, Sulemana, Adzic, Lipani, Dominguez, Pierini and Skjellerup. The match is refereed by Di Bello of Brindisi, with Peretti and Scatragli as assistant referees, Abisso as fourth official, Pezzuto as VAR and Guida as assistant VAR.
