Tresoldi agrees to Roma move as club works to lower Bruges asking price

Roma have made progress in their pursuit of Nicolò Tresoldi, the Bruges striker, with the player agreeing to join the club. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini views Tresoldi as a suitable option to strengthen the attack, particularly as a deputy to Donyell Malen. The 25-year-old is young, physically robust, and offers room for growth, positioning him as an alternative solution up front for the coming season. With Tresoldi's willingness to move established, Roma are now in direct negotiations with Bruges over the transfer fee. The Belgian club's valuation remains the key obstacle, though Roma are attempting to lower the asking price to €25 million. The signing would complement other attacking targets on Roma's radar, including Alejandro Garnacho of Chelsea and Diego Moreira of Strasbourg, as Gasperini continues to reshape the offensive department ahead of the new season.

Lorenzo Pellegrini will miss Roma's official training camp opening at Trigoria tomorrow, though negotiations over his contract renewal have moved closer to completion in recent days. The midfielder and the club are increasingly aligned on extending their partnership, with concrete progress reported in talks. Pellegrini's entourage is reaching a verbal agreement with Roma, though a formal deal has not yet been announced. Pellegrini's absence from tomorrow's session is due to two factors: the contractual situation remains awaiting formal finalisation, and an injury sustained late last season requires careful management of his return. Meanwhile, contract situations for Paulo Dybala and Zeki Çelik are already advancing towards resolution.

Roma are pursuing Diego Moreira, a 21-year-old Belgian winger from Strasbourg, as head coach Gian Piero Gasperini seeks to bolster the flanks. Strasbourg are demanding €40 million for the Liège-born player, while Roma have offered up to €35 million plus bonuses and a sell-on percentage. The club's new sporting director D'Amico previously attempted to sign Moreira for Atalanta last summer without success and is keen to complete the deal in the capital. Gasperini has approved the potential acquisition and views Moreira as a tactical fit alongside Wesley, the Brazilian winger already on Roma's roster. Both players can operate across either flank, though Moreira has demonstrated particular versatility this season, playing as an external midfielder in a 3-4-2-1 formation and as a left winger in a 4-2-3-1 setup. At Strasbourg, Moreira earns €800,000 annually and could treble his salary at Roma. The statistical profiles are strikingly similar: Moreira has completed 10.4 kilometres per match compared to Wesley's 9.8 kilometres, and both average 23 sprints per game. However, Moreira boasts a superior dribbling success rate of 42 per cent versus Wesley's 23 per cent, while Wesley edges him marginally in top speed (36.4 km/h to 34.7 km/h). This season Moreira has contributed 4 goals and 6 assists in Ligue 1, whilst Wesley has scored 5 Serie A goals without providing an assist.

Roma have made progress in their pursuit of Nicolò Tresoldi, the Bruges striker, with the player agreeing to join the club. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini views Tresoldi as a suitable option to strengthen the attack, particularly as a deputy to Donyell Malen. The 25-year-old is young, physically robust, and offers room for growth, positioning him as an alternative solution up front for the coming season. With Tresoldi's willingness to move established, Roma are now in direct negotiations with Bruges over the transfer fee. The Belgian club's valuation remains the key obstacle, though Roma are attempting to lower the asking price to €25 million. The signing would complement other attacking targets on Roma's radar, including Alejandro Garnacho of Chelsea and Diego Moreira of Strasbourg, as Gasperini continues to reshape the offensive department ahead of the new season.

Roma are targeting Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho as one of their primary transfer priorities, alongside Diego Moreira. The 22-year-old Argentine is frozen out at Chelsea and the London club are actively seeking his departure, but only on a permanent deal for a fee between 40–50 million euros — a figure that includes a 10 per cent sell-on clause owed to Manchester United. Roma's sporting director D'Amico initially favoured a loan with option to buy, but the fee presents a significant obstacle. To circumvent the challenge, the club plan to structure the move similarly to their recent acquisition of Donyell Malen: inserting performance-based conditions that would trigger an obligation to buy. These could include goals scored or Roma's qualification for the Champions League. The approach proved successful with Malen's arrival weeks earlier. Roma face competition from English, Spanish, and Arab clubs for Garnacho's signature. The striker remains one of the hottest names in the current transfer market and has generated considerable excitement among the Giallorossi fanbase, both for his reputation and the attacking role he fills.

Roma's summer transfer strategy is being shaped by the tension between head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's technical ambitions and the club's commitment to financial discipline. Director Tony D'Amico is navigating this balance, evaluating each move carefully to avoid repeating past budget mismanagement. Diego Moreira is central to Roma's plans, with Gasperini keen on the midfielder's tactical versatility to bolster the flanks alongside Wesley. However, Strasbourg's asking price is deemed too high, and if negotiations don't yield flexibility, Roma may pursue less expensive targets. Elsewhere, Alejandro Garnacho remains under monitoring despite Chelsea's economic demands appearing beyond reach for Roma's proposed loan-with-option-to-buy formula. Nicolò Tresoldi is a concrete attacking target, with Roma attempting to lower Club Brugge's valuation to pair him with Donyell Malen. On the contract front, renewals for Paulo Dybala and Zeki Çelik are settled. Lorenzo Pellegrini's extension talks are progressing, though both parties must bridge a modest wage gap while Pellegrini recovers fully from recent injury before resuming full training.

Nine players assembled during Gian Piero Gasperini's first season at Roma have combined for 100 appearances across Serie A and cup competitions but have failed to establish themselves as regular contributors. Pierluigi Gollini featured only once, against Panathinaikos in January's final Europa League group stage match. Angeliño made brief appearances against Celtic and Panathinaikos before a March return to the Olimpico against Lecce, where he saw limited action in the run-in. Robinio Vaz, signed for 20 million euros plus 5 million in bonuses in January alongside Donyell Malen, scored his sole Roma goal against Lecce but has proven too raw for immediate impact as deputy striker. Bryan Zaragoza arrived on loan from Bayern Munich in January and impressed on his second appearance, starting against Napoli and providing an assist for Malen's opening goal from the seventh minute, yet proved costly when he came on in Roma's Europa League elimination against Bologna in extra time. Lorenzo Venturino, an 18-year-old winger on loan from Genoa, saw limited use due to his age. Evan Ferguson, signed on loan with a purchase option from Brighton, closed the season with 40 combined appearances across both strikers; the 20-year-old's campaign ended in January after injury and limited backing from Gasperini. Artem Dovbyk meanwhile struggled to meet the technical demands of the role and reappeared late in the season with only two minutes in the final two matches.

Nicolò Tresoldi wants Roma and is currently awaiting the club's next move. The Club Brugge striker has been identified by the giallorossi as a potential deputy to Donyell Malen and is convinced by Gian Piero Gasperini's project, having already spoken with Niccolò Pisilli. Roma's pursuit of Tresoldi operates independently of any potential departure by Artem Dovbyk, who remains without a new club at present. The giallorossi could proceed with the signing even without selling the Ukrainian forward, though Tresoldi's valuation is high, ranging between €25–30 million. Despite considerable interest from other clubs, Tresoldi is focused solely on Roma's movements in the transfer market. An acceleration in negotiations is expected in the coming week.

Roma have stepped up their effort to sign Nicolò Tresoldi from Club Brugge, targeting the 21-year-old as a backup option to Donyell Malen. The italo-German forward, born in Cagliari but developed in Germany, is a long-standing target for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini and the club's hierarchy. To outpace rival interest—notably from Atlético Madrid—Roma are preparing to push through a deal before formally completing Artem Dovbyk's departure, with sporting director Tony D'Amico working to soften Brugge's demands of approximately 30 million euros by proposing a loan with a purchase option. Tresoldi's personal preference could prove decisive: the forward has made clear his sole desire is to join Roma. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, he has already expressed this preference to Roma midfielder Niccolò Pisilli. Official contacts between the clubs are set to intensify from the coming week, aided by the fact that Tresoldi shares the same agents as Can Uzun, the Eintracht Frankfurt playmaker long tracked by Roma. Roma aim to deliver their first summer signing to Gasperini as quickly as possible, allowing him to integrate the young talent into his tactical framework from the start of pre-season.
