Giallini on balancing set filming with Roma matches, and the Perfetti sconosciuti anecdote

Gianluca Mancini made his 250th Serie A appearance for Roma in the 9th matchday fixture against Cagliari. The milestone makes him the first defender to reach 250 Serie A appearances in the giallorossi shirt in the three-points-for-a-win era, which began in 1994-95. Mancini, a Tuscan centre-back, has been with the club since July 2019, as per the club's squad records. Reaching the mark on home soil against Cagliari underlines his long service and consistency in the Roma defence under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The record is the club's own benchmark for defenders in the modern league format, and it places Mancini at the top of that list for the Roman side. Roma remain focused on building momentum in the domestic campaign.

Il Messaggero has published a further look at the social media habits of Roma winger Wesley, focusing on displays of wealth, luxury cars and controversial episodes from his time at Flamengo, days after his wife Amanda Martins announced their separation on social media and accused him of repeated infidelity. The newspaper highlights one of the player's recent TikTok posts, showing stacks of 50-euro banknotes and two luxury watches placed in front of a gaming setup. The images drew attention from users and raised questions about publicly displaying high-value items. Il Messaggero notes that it is not known whether the banknotes shown are genuine or replicas. The newspaper also points to the security risks such displays could carry. In September 2025, thieves reportedly tried to break into the player's villa. In early October, Wesley showed his car collection on social media, and a few days later he was photographed behind the wheel of his Lamborghini at Ponte Milvio. Earlier content had also drawn interest over the summer, including a July video in which the Brazilian showed his wife virtual accessories he had bought for a video game, among them a digital knife costing more than 2,000 euros. Il Messaggero also revisits earlier incidents from his time in Brazil. In March 2024, while playing for Flamengo, Wesley was reported to police by a businessman over an alleged assault at a beach kiosk. The player rejected the accusation and gave a different account of the episode. In August of the same year, a video showing him at a nightclub after a defeat to Botafogo caused controversy. The report comes the day after Amanda Martins's harsh outburst on social media, in which she announced the separation and accused her husband of repeated infidelity. Those accusations are her version of events and have not been established as fact. The newspaper's main question is whether these off-pitch matters could in future affect Wesley's performances on the field. That remains a concern rather than an established consequence, as the Brazilian continues to be an important asset for Gasperini's Roma.

Roma winger Wesley França has drawn scrutiny over his social media activity, which ranges from flashy displays of wealth to a public row with his wife. Wesley, who joined Roma in the summer of 2025 and has become one of the pillars of Gian Piero Gasperini's side in just a year, is at the centre of the controversy after a series of posts that have been reported by Il Messaggero's Gianluca Lengua. The problems arise when, off the pitch, the discipline he shows every Sunday seems to disappear. Wesley's TikTok activity has included one post that looks like it came from a rap video: bundles of 50-euro notes arranged in front of a gaming set-up, alongside two expensive watches worth several thousand euros each. Where the money comes from, and whether the notes are replicas or genuine, is unknown. A video featuring Pierino, a restaurateur and influencer, has also sparked criticism after the Carabinieri's NAS unit suspended his business over hygiene and health-and-safety failings. Wesley is also a keen gamer. One of his favourites is "171", the Brazilian GTA-style game set among arms traffickers, beatings and gang shootouts, in which he has his own character wearing a Roma shirt. Last July he posted a video showing his wife Amanda Martins some virtual accessories he had bought in Counter-Strike, an online game, including a digital knife he paid more than 2,000 euros for. Yesterday, Amanda Martins made a harsh public statement accusing the Brazilian of repeated infidelity. She said: "Lui non mi deve più niente, perché oggi siamo separati" ("He owes me nothing any more, because today we are separated").
