Tognozzi emerges as prime candidate for Roma sporting director role

Roma are working on a move for Endrick as they strengthen their attack, positioning themselves well in the race for the Brazilian forward. The club has been operating behind the scenes on the operation for several weeks. However, much depends on the player's willingness. Endrick arrived at Real Madrid's pre-season retreat determined to fight for his place under Mourinho despite competition in the attacking department. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, his entourage is pushing for a new loan experience away from the Bernabéu, particularly given his positive spell at Lyon and precedents such as Nico Paz. Endrick himself is not yet convinced about leaving Madrid, a situation that works against Roma's pursuit. The competition for his signature is intense, but sporting director D'Amico continues working to position Roma at the front of the queue should a loan opportunity open up. Gasperini and the club regard Endrick as the ideal profile for his characteristics, age, and quality already demonstrated at the highest level.

Roma are pursuing Rodrigo Mora, a 2007-born left winger from Porto, as they search for the final piece of their summer transfer puzzle. Director Tony D'Amico has targeted the technically gifted Mora after failed approaches for Greenwood and Summerville, plus wider interest in Nusa and Fofana. Roma have roughly two weeks to complete the deal before their Serie A season opens against Fiorentina. Mora, at 168 centimetres tall, uses his low centre of gravity to excel in tight spaces and in the final third. His former Porto coach praised his ability to play between the lines and his willingness to work hard in defence: "Rodrigo is a player who excels in playing between the lines, in the final pass and in dribbling in the opponent's half. He is a brave young man, who does not feel the weight of playing at such a high level. He works hard always and accepts the responsibility of sacrificing himself in the defensive phase when we do not have the ball." Naturally a number ten, Mora can operate across multiple attacking roles on either flank. D'Amico aims to wrap up the transfer quickly to give Gasperini the attacking winger the club has pursued for a year. Mora represents a prospect with significant growth potential rather than a finished product, offering what Roma see as a strong technical and financial investment for the future.

Roma will launch a new bid for left-back Alessio Cacciamani in the coming days after Torino's initial resistance to his departure has begun to ease. The Giallorossi have been working on the deal for several days and have already seen a €13 million offer rejected, with Torino demanding at least €20 million. Sporting director D'Amico is preparing to increase Roma's bid to accelerate a move before the season begins, with head coach Gasperini keen to strengthen the squad in that position. Torino's technical director Gianluca Petrachi acknowledged the possibility of Cacciamani's departure, stating: "We would like to continue with lads like him, but we also have to reckon with a market that sometimes presents absurd prices, mad ones, that you simply cannot take into account." However, Petrachi added that the club remains committed to retaining the player, saying: "Our intention is to keep him." Despite Torino president Cairo's public position, Petrachi's comments suggest there is room for negotiation. Gasperini and D'Amico are hopeful the fresh offer will finally break Torino's resistance and bring Cacciamani to the Olimpico.
