Verona set to extend Sogliano's contract through 2029, moving away from Roma interest

Source: Forza Roma

Sean Sogliano, Verona's sporting director, is close to signing a contract extension with the club through 2029, effectively ending speculation about a potential move to AS Roma. The extension comes despite Verona's recent mathematical relegation from Serie A following Lecce's victory over Pisa.

Roma has been searching for a new sporting director after Massara's expected departure. Sogliano had been among the names linked with the Giallorossi, but he has chosen to remain with Hellas Verona rather than make the step up to a larger club. The matter is expected to be discussed during a meeting between Ryan Friedkin and head coach Gian Piero Gasperini scheduled for today, which will also cover the club's overall transfer strategy and other personnel decisions.

Other candidates reportedly on Roma's radar for the sporting director role include D'Amico, Giuntoli, Manna, and Paratici. The timing of these discussions coincides with broader changes in the club's structure as The Friedkin Group continues to shape the organisation ahead of the new season.

Summerville's Penalty Miss at Al-Hilal Draws Sympathetic Ribbing From Roma Fans

Crysencio Summerville endured a difficult start at Al-Hilal after missing a penalty with a chip that sailed high. The Dutch winger, who was closely tracked by Roma during the summer transfer window before accepting the Saudi Pro League offer, saw his error circulate widely on social media despite the goal not costing his team the three points under manager Simone Inzaghi. Roma supporters have largely moved past Summerville's decision to reject the club, with fans taking to social media to mock the miss. Among those sharing commentary was Damiano David, the well-known Roma supporter and musician, who posted: "Quanto ce dispiace" (roughly "how much that hurts us"). The incident appears to have helped the Giallorossi fanbase digest the Dutchman's refusal of their advances.

Neom target Ziółkowski as Roma demand €20m

Jan Ziółkowski has attracted interest from Saudi Arabian club Neom, with Roma valuing the centre-back at approximately €20 million. The Polish defender found limited playing time last season and has not fully convinced head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, prompting the Giallorossi to consider offers for him. Several clubs from Saudi Arabia have already expressed interest in the 2005-born player. Gasperini would prefer to retain Ziółkowski over Daniele Ghilardi, but the Polish defender has a stronger market appeal due to his age, room for growth, and current involvement with the Polish national team. Roma's €20 million valuation also reflects a 10 per cent sell-on clause owed to Legia Warszawa from any future sale. Should Ziółkowski depart, Roma would be forced to pursue another central defender, likely targeting a loan arrangement with an option to buy rather than a permanent signing.

Bynoe-Gittens back in focus for Roma, but loan deal required

Roma's transfer window has entered its most intense phase as head coach Gian Piero Gasperini seeks two additional reinforcements to complete his squad: another full-back and a left winger. The club is working on deals for Luis Henrique and Fofana, but negotiations remain complicated. With Luis Henrique requiring agreement to be reached with Inter over the formula and the player himself, and the Fofana operation from Lyon deemed excessively costly and stalled, Roma is now considering loan options to bolster those positions. Chelsea winger Bynoe-Gittens has re-emerged as a target. The left-winger had a disappointing 2025–26 season in the Premier League after Chelsea paid 60 million euros to sign him from Borussia Dortmund. Roma could only bring him to the club on a temporary basis, potentially with an option to buy, rather than a permanent transfer.
