Ranking Roma’s Youth, 2026: Fan Vote!
Every year since 2014, we’ve compiled a list of the best and brightest U-23 talents working their way through Trigoria. From smash hits like Riccardo Calafiori to Roma mainstays like Lorenzo Pellegrini and even turncoats like Alessio Romagnoli, we’ve covered the full range of potential outcomes over the past 12 years. We’ve been doing this […]
Martina Piemonte Returns to Lead Roma’s Next Chapter
In our spare time, I’m sure we all love to play armchair Director of Sport. Whether it’s on Football Manager, EA FC, or simply in our minds, building a squad from scratch and watching it blossom is one of the best parts of being a fan. However, unlike North American sports, where expansion teams occasionally […]
Nusa Opens to Roma. Can Leipzig Be Convinced to Sell?
With the addition of Santiago Castro, Roma will give Gian Piero Gasperini another exciting weapon for his stable of forwards and give the Italian manager a viable alternative to Donyell Malen at striker. However, throughout the summer, the most prominent position in the Roma rumor mill has been a left winger. And the addition of […]
Reports: Artem Dovbyk to Join Bologna on Loan
After weeks of toiling away on the transfer market with nothing to show for their efforts, Roma is on the verge of completing a double-barrel deal with Bologna. Rather than going whole hog on a flashy winger, the Giallorossi decided to take a more sensible route, spending “only” €35 million to acquire Bologna forward Santiago […]
Forget the Wingers: Roma Are Closing in on Santiago Castro
Don’t look now, but Roma may be on the verge of making an honest-to-goodness transfer. The kind where they give legal tender to another club to purchase an actual footballer—imagine that! Kidding aside, after a frustrating month spent chasing Mason Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville, failing in their attempt to find a new left winger, the […]
Kerem Aktürkoğlu Emerges as Roma’s Latest Attacking Target
At this point in the summer, with less than a month to go before the new season begins, I suspect my Roma routine isn’t too different from yours: I wake up, crack a few eggs for breakfast while the coffee percolates, and pray there are new transfer rumors to discuss. No offense to Niccolo Tresoldi […]
Roma Turn to Jamie Gittens as Search for Winger Continues
From gas to eggs and everything in between, inflation is wreaking havoc on the cost of living in every corner of the globe. Football clubs aren’t immune to these rising costs either. Take, for example, Roma’s pursuit of a new left winger for Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack. It’s probably unfair to compare the rising costs […]
Said El Mala Emerges as Nusa Alternative
Sooner or later, Tony D’Amico will deliver a new attacking signing to Gian Piero Gasperini. The question is: How far down his list of targets will he have to go to land a new weapon for Gasperini? With Mason Greenwood heading to Turkey, Alejandro Garnacho to Aston Villa, and Crysencio Summerville to Saudi Arabia, the […]
Roma Turn to Antonio Nusa After Summerville Saga Collapses
Easy come, easy go. Except in the case of Roma’s ill-fated pursuit of Crysencio Summerville, nothing was easy. From haggling with West Ham over a transfer fee and meeting Summerville’s wage demands to fending off Al-Hilal and, perhaps the biggest pain in the ass of all, canceling his flight to Rome, this transfer saga was […]
Summerville Still Open to Roma Despite Al-Hilal’s Rich Offer (Update: He’s Off to Saudi Arabia)
Yesterday, when discussing Crysencio Summerville’s potential move to Roma, we jokingly compared it to a soap opera. Little did we know that As the Summerville Turns would become a real-life melodrama full of intrigue, backstabbing, and grand romantic (read: financial) gestures. When the credits rolled on yesterday’s episode, our protagonist had spurned Roma’s advances, falling […]
Why the Summerville Bait-and-Switch Gives Romanisti Déjà Vu
For about 24 hours, it looked as though Roma had done it. After weeks of negotiations, multiple reports indicated that the Giallorossi had finally reached an agreement in principle with West Ham for Crysencio Summerville, while the Dutch international had already agreed to personal terms on a move to the capital. It appeared Tony D’Amico […]
Schjelderup Lands on Roma’s Radar, but Spurs and Liverpool Loom
With Crysencio Summerville as close as ever to becoming Roma’s club-record signing, Tony D’Amico will soon have to get to work on a number of other moves to reinforce Roma’s roster. Nicoló Tresoldi is still said to be awaiting his move to Roma as Donyell Malen’s understudy. Plus, Zeki Çelik’s about-face on signing his extension […]
Optimism Grows as Roma Near Crysencio Summerville Deal
In the last episode of As the Summerville Turns, Roma submitted a whopping €46 million bid for Crysencio Summerville, West Ham’s whirling dervish Dutch winger. While this represented a club record for the Giallorossi, the episode ended on a down note, as West Ham rejected the bid outright, leaving Tony D’Amico and Gian Piero Gasperini […]
Roma Eye PSG Prospect Ibrahim Mbaye on Loan
Now that the World Cup is over and the Spanish have reclaimed their perch atop the global football throne, we can fully and officially direct our attention to the transfer market. Thanks to last season’s surprising performance, Roma ended their years-long Champions League drought, erasing almost a decade of Europa League ignominy thanks to a […]
2026 World Cup Final: Spain vs. Argentina
It’s all come down to this. What started more than a month ago with 48 nations has finally reached its crescendo—the World Cup final is here. After surviving the newly expanded group stage and the knockout rounds, not to mention the sweltering heat and humidity of a North American summer, Spain and Argentina will go […]
Roma Prepared to Go All-In for Crysencio Summerville
After brief dalliances with Kerim Alajbegović, Alejandro Garnacho, Mason Greenwood and others, Roma has singled out West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville as their objective of affection this summer. While the talented 24-year-old is a superb fit for Gian Piero Gasperini’s brand of football, he hasn’t been an easy target to acquire, as evidenced by Roma’s […]
Summerville Says Yes. Now Roma Must Convince West Ham
After Roma’s flirtation with Mason Greenwood and links to the likes of Endrick, Alejandro Garnacho, Antonio Nusa, and others, it’s no secret that Roma is looking to take a big swing in upgrading Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking stable. Early in the mercato, Roma was also linked with Dutchman Crysencio Summerville of West Ham. Those links […]
Roma Choose Stability With Mancini and Cristante Extensions
There’s an old adage in sports that the best ability is availability. And in the modern age of sport, where seasons run nearly year-round, durability is more valuable than ever; doubly so for a club with Roma’s injury record. Since arriving at the club in 2019, Gianluca Mancini has amassed an incredible 317 appearances amounting […]
Dybala Stays, Çelik Defects: A Week of Contrasting Fortunes
A week filled with mixed emotions in Rome. Dybala agreed to extend his contract, but Celik unexpectedly joined Juventus following a last-minute change of heart or financial decision. We all knew there were some difficult dossiers for Roma’s management this summer. The contracts of Celik, Dybala, and Pellegrini expired, while Roma had to decide what […]
Roma Eye Loan Deal for Real Madrid Wonderkid Endrick
While Roma is making progress in their pursuit of West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville, reportedly agreeing to personal terms with the Dutch winger, we’ll mix things up a bit and focus on a different name this morning. And Friday’s soup de jour is Real Madrid’s Brazilian prodigy Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa, a soon-to-be 20-year-old […]
Roma Pivot to Nahuel Molina Following Çelik’s Departure
Timing is seemingly never in Roma’s favor. From titles lost in the waning weeks of the season to missed transfer targets and those that simply took too long, the annals of Roma history are packed with what-ifs and just-misses. So while today’s news that Zeki Çelik spurned Roma in favor of Juventus was surprising, the […]
Zeki Çelik Is Leaving Roma—and Heading to Juventus
We’ve been so fixated on Roma’s transfer wish list—which is filled primarily with aggressive and crafty wingers—and the potential sales of players like Matías Soulé or Manu Koné that we may have overlooked the possibility of the Giallorossi losing players to free agency. While Roma is busy working away on new deals for the club’s […]
Roma’s Summerville Pursuit Enters a Decisive Week
With the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina set for Sunday, the footballing world will soon turn its attention back to club football: training camps, summer friendlies, and, of course, transfer rumors. As we discussed yesterday, free from the World Cup onslaught, the Romaverse is narrowing its focus to a few key players, the […]
2026 World Cup Semifinal: England vs. Argentina
Yesterday’s semifinal between France and Spain, billed as a clash between two of the tournament favorites, was a bit of a letdown in the end. Les Bleus’ good luck finally ran out, as they fell to the Spanish in a rather straightforward 2-0 defeat. Today’s matchup between England and Argentina should be just a bit […]
Roma Push Forward in Pursuit of Diego Moreira
As the 2026 World Cup approaches its crescendo, the loose collection of transfer rumors we’ve sweated over for the past several weeks should start to coalesce into actual signings. Indeed, we’ve already seen several rumors that felt like near certainties a month ago fall by the wayside, giving us a clearer picture of Roma’s actual […]
