Roma maintain interest in Florentino Luis
Roma are keeping alive their interest in Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis. The player is still on Frederic Massara's shortlist to strengthen Roma's midfield. According to Il Messaggero, both Florentino and Weston McKennie are two midfielders Roma are keen on based on Gian Piero Gasperini's requirements for the role. Other European clubs are also interested in Florentino, but his arrival in the capital would represent a significant leap in quality for Roma, who are looking for a player capable of completing the defense and ensuring solidity in both phases of the game.

Roma continue talks for Bailey, Echeverri and Fabio Silva
Roma remain very active on the market. Giallorossi sporting director Frederic Massara must seek to strengthen the attack as quickly as possible for an increasingly impatient Gasperini. The new name is that of Leon Bailey, who played a key role in Roma's defeat to Aston Villa in the recent friendly. The Jamaican winger is valued at around €30 million and can be adapted to the left. At the same time, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Massara has resumed contact with City for Echeverri. The Giallorossi are considering the possibility of bringing him on a dry loan. Finally, there's the possibility of Fabio Silva, who already has an agreement with Roma. The agreement between the Giallorossi and Wolves is still pending.

Lorenzo Pellegrini could depart Roma in January
Lorenzo Pellegrini's future and contractual situation remain unclear. After the many transfer rumors, the number 7 continues to work towards returning to Roma's disposal. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Finnish surgeon Lempainen, who operated on the midfielder, will come to Italy after mid-August for a final consultation and to give the definitive approval for the player's return to the pitch. Once approved, Pellegrini's return will be gradual, but he will finally be able to return to training with the team. The home match against Torino, his first after the September break, will then be in his sights. From that moment, the battle for his contract renewal, which expires in 2026, will begin, or rather continue. Pellegrini wants to deny all the rumors and continue with the Giallorossi, but Roma is currently not convinced of his long-term fit. Therefore, if the situation remains unchanged, a possible January transfer, as happened with Zalewski, cannot be ruled out.
