Tottenham moves for N'Dicka as Roma sets asking price

Head coach Gasperini continues to view Mason Greenwood as his priority transfer target to strengthen Roma's attack. The club has not abandoned its interest in the Olympique Marseille winger despite competition from Fenerbahce and Marseille's substantial asking price of 50 million euros plus 5 million in performance bonuses. Roma's sporting leadership at Trigoria is actively working on the deal, which Gasperini considers the ideal reinforcement for his attacking line. The situation is being monitored closely as uncertainty surrounding Turkish club finances may benefit Roma's position, with reports suggesting internal tensions between Fenerbahce officials regarding the sustainability of their financial commitments. Meanwhile, separate discussions continue regarding the arrival of D'Amico at Roma, with further developments expected in the coming week. The complexity of the overall transfer landscape remains, but Roma has maintained its pursuit without withdrawing from contention for Greenwood's signature.

Jeremías Lazaro, a 2004-born midfielder at Argentine club Instituto Córdoba, revealed that Paulo Dybala contacted him via video call through a mutual connection to offer representation services. Lazaro declined the offer, as he had already signed with another agent, but praised Dybala for providing advice during a period when he was playing little. Lazaro said of their conversation: "With him I had a chat, we spoke on Instagram, I made a video call with him because, well, he wanted to be my representative. But I had already signed with my current agent. Obviously we remained on excellent terms, there's a desire to meet at some point, which will surely happen. But I'm really happy because he's a fantastic person. He gave me a lot of advice and, honestly, talking to him reassured me." Dybala founded a Milan-based consulting firm called La Favorita srl over two years ago, which manages athlete image rights, endorsements, and intellectual property across multiple platforms including artificial intelligence and blockchain-based assets like NFTs. The venture reflects Dybala's broader business interests beyond his playing career at Roma, similar to how Francesco Totti established his own management company. The arrangement shows Dybala is actively building a portfolio in sports representation and consulting, positioning himself for post-playing opportunities in football management and athlete advocacy.

AS Roma's pursuit of a new sporting director is approaching conclusion. Tony D'Amico is currently in Bergamo negotiating the termination of his contract with Atalanta, a necessary step before he can officially join Roma as director of sport. The two clubs have yet to reach full agreement, however, with D'Amico expected to forfeit certain monthly payments as part of the exit deal. Atalanta president Luca Percassi is reportedly unwilling to expedite the arrangement, which may delay D'Amico's arrival at Roma until 1 July, when he will gain full decision-making authority at the club. Meanwhile, head coach Gian Piero Gasperini continues to pursue English winger Mason Greenwood as a primary transfer target. Marseille has set Greenwood's asking price at €55 million. Should that move prove unfeasible, Roma has identified Peixoto (referred to as Paixão in transfer discussions) as a backup option. Complications have also emerged at Fenerbahçe, where uncertainty surrounds which of two candidates will secure the English player's signature.

Inter are continuing to monitor AS Roma players as potential targets for their squad reinforcement. Beyond previously reported interest in Manu Koné and Evan N'Dicka, the Milan club has now set their sights on Gianluca Mancini as a defensive option. Mancini represents another piece of Roma's squad that has attracted attention from rival Serie A clubs. The defender's potential departure would represent a significant loss to Roma's backline, given his established role in the team's defensive structure.

Roma have appointed Tony D'Amico as their new sporting director following the departure of Frederic Massara, who left amid a dispute with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. D'Amico and Gasperini previously worked together at Atalanta. The club has already secured Donyell Malen on a permanent deal and extended Mario Hermoso's contract as part of their summer activity. With Financial Fair Play obligations to meet, Roma's primary focus will be strengthening their attacking options. Mason Greenwood of Olympique Marseille is a key target, though his fee could reach approximately €50 million. Greenwood has scored 48 goals and provided 17 assists in 81 appearances for Marseille. Roma are also monitoring RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa and West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, though no concrete moves have been made for either. The club does not view acquiring another centre-forward as a pressing priority. Matías Soulé may be sold to a Premier League club as part of Roma's financial planning, while the club will consider offers for midfielder Manu Koné and defender Evan N'Dicka. Losing Soulé could be offset by landing a marquee forward, though Roma's willingness to spend heavily on a single player remains unclear.

AS Roma will face Hellas Verona at 20:45 in what appears to be the final match of the Serie A season. The fixture details have been confirmed and released to the public. Meanwhile, defender N'Dicka has been ruled out with a reported injury. The nature and severity of the injury, along with his expected return timeline, remain unclear from available information.
