Soulé open to Saudi Arabia move as Al-Diriyah prepares €35m offer

Roma's players largely avoided the Trigoria training ground after their opening Serie A victory over Fiorentina at the Olimpico, leaving supporters gathered at the facility's gates disappointed. The team coach arrived practically empty, as the vast majority of Gian Piero Gasperini's squad chose to travel directly home from the stadium immediately after the final whistle rather than return to the center as fans had hoped to greet them. Jan Ziolkowski stood out as the sole exception. The young Polish defender was the only squad member present at the training ground—a detail of significance given his uncertain future at the club. The 2005-born defender remains at the centre of transfer speculation, with Saudi club Neom reportedly ready to make a move with an offer worth approximately €20 million to take him from Roma. The scene highlighted the contrasting priorities between the playing staff and the supporters who had gathered outside the Bernardini gates following the opening day success.

Roma have completed the signing of Oosterwolde on a paid loan with an option to buy. The deal is structured at €16 million plus €2 million in add-ons. The player is due to land tomorrow morning at 11:35.

Jayden Oosterwolde is arriving at Roma from Fenerbahçe. The Dutch defender is due in the capital tomorrow morning, 25 August, with his arrival scheduled for 11:35 at Ciampino airport. The 2001-born player can operate as a centre-back, as a defensive midfielder, or on the wing, providing tactical flexibility for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Oosterwolde represents another defensive reinforcement following the arrival of Konstantinos Koulierakis, with Jan Ziółkowski's future at the club still uncertain. However, Oosterwolde is currently managing a muscular issue that will keep him sidelined for another two weeks. Before heading to Amsterdam earlier on 24 August, he released a statement in which he admitted that he did not want to leave Fenerbahçe.
