Two new murals honour Totti on his 50th birthday

Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar has moved into business, announcing that he has invested in Botan, presented as the first non-alcoholic distillery in Europe. The Serbian shot-stopper made the news public through his personal Instagram profile, accompanying the announcement with a statement outlining the philosophy behind the project: "We did not invent the world of non-alcoholic drinks: we want to help define its future. I have invested in Botan, the first non-alcoholic distillery in Europe. One company, a new point of reference." The venture aims to go beyond the traditional boundaries of the sector, focusing on the pursuit of flavour rather than simply removing alcohol from the equation. The company's presentation on its official website makes the same point, with the brand stressing that it has not tried to fit into an existing category. The company's own description, quoted in full: "We have not tried to fit into an existing category. Our goal has been to explore taste through distillation. The absence of alcohol is not the destination, but the consequence of choosing a precise method, designed to extract, combine and preserve the various aromatic nuances as well as possible. Botan was created to build a new creative category, capable of enhancing depth, balance and versatility in the gastronomic sphere. It is an expression of the territory in which we operate, shaped by the rhythm of the seasons. We select herbs of gastronomic quality, grown with priority given to aromatic characteristics rather than harvest quantity. Each harvest tells the story of its soil, its climate and the moment it is gathered. Nature never produces identical results, and the same is true of our creations. The differences between one harvest and another are an integral part of their identity."

Daniele De Rossi has admitted that his dismissal by Roma may have played a part in his decision to become president of Ostiamare, the club where he took his first steps as a boy. Now in charge of Genoa, the former Roma midfielder spoke about the link during the presentation of Radici, a docuserie dedicated to his return to the Ostia club. The move into club management is rooted in the past, but it is also tied to his time as a coach in the capital. De Rossi was dismissed by Roma after four matches in 2025, and the sacking has stayed with him as he builds a new path in football away from the bench of the Giallorossi. Speaking at the presentation, De Rossi said: "I always had this dream, regardless of the sacking and the fact that it was a bit abrupt and early. Perhaps it had an effect in an unconscious way, that is looking for another place that would make me happy. I left a place that always made me happy and perhaps unconsciously I went looking for another one."

Roma and AC Milan remain interested in Endrick, while Real Madrid are not yet convinced about letting the Brazilian forward go, according to The Athletic, which cites well-informed sources. The Brazilian is looking for more playing time, and Roma want a quality reinforcement in attack to take the next step. No decision has been taken on a possible departure in January. However, if his minutes stay low over the coming month, Endrick could push for a move. Real Madrid and Mourinho would prefer to keep him and continue to believe he will get his chance. For now, interest from Sporting and Arsenal appears to have been ruled out, leaving Roma and Milan as the clubs still keeping the option alive. His situation will be reviewed in January. The situation is similar to last year, but according to the English tabloid, Real Madrid this time would be less inclined to sell him in order to preserve squad depth. A permanent departure could only be considered for a fee above 60 million euros. The report places the matter firmly in the January window, with Endrick's playing time over the next month set to be the decisive factor in whether he pushes for a exit.
