Minimal distance between Roma and Palmeiras for Rios
Giallorossi sporting director Frederic Massara is at work to secure the midfielder's arrival.
An agreement with Palmeiras is still pending, as the Brazilian side remain firm on their €30 million asking price.
The distance between the two clubs now appears to be minimal.
Roma's new offer to Palmeiras for Rios is €27 million plus €3 million in bonuses.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, however, the Brazilian club's asking price is a fixed €30 million, excluding bonuses.
The same request was made to West Ham and Zenit: both clubs were willing to pay, but the player wants to move to Italy.

Mario Hermoso could stay at Roma
Today, the Giallorossi will play their first real friendly against Kaiserslautern in Germany, another way for Gasperini to strengthen his confidence. According to today's edition of Il Messaggero, among the players returning from their respective loans who are convincing him is Mario Hermoso. The experienced left-footed central defender could therefore remain at Roma and compete for a spot alongside Ndicka on the left-center position. Marash Kumbulla, however, does not seem to have won over the coach: the Albanian appears to be more attractive after a good season at Espanyol and could therefore be put up for sale to try to raise money. In that case, Massara will be looking to add a new central defender to the squad in addition to Daniele Ghilardi, whose arrival seems a given.

Gollini excluded from Kaiserslautern friendly
In addition to Wesley, El Aynaoui, Ferguson, and Ghilardi, Roma also has another target: a second-choice goalkeeper. Pierluigi Gollini, in fact, is not part of Gian Piero Gasperini's plans, and despite a move to Cremonese falling through, the goalkeeper was not called up for the friendly against Kaiserslautern. According to Filippo Biafora, Sporting Director Massara is working on replacing the former Atalanta and Napoli player, who is set to leave the Giallorossi.

Dybala absent from Roma squad for Kaiserslautern friendly
Gian Piero Gapserini's Roma take on German club Kaiserslautern in a pre-season friendly today and the Giallorossi have named their squad, with Argentine forward Paulo Dybala absent. However, there is no cause for alarm for fans of the Roman club, with the former Juventus man just being managed physically after an intense few days of training. Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, Anass Salah-Eddine, Artem Dovbyk and Pierluigi Gollini are also all absent from the squad due to injury and fatigue, whilst new signings Evan Ferguson, Neil El Aynaoui and Radoslaw Zelezny all make the team. ROME, ITALY – APRIL 13: Paulo Dybala of AS Roma looks on as players of AS Roma warm up prior to the Serie A match between SS Lazio and AS Roma at Stadio Olimpico on April 13, 2025 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by) No cause for Dybala alarm as Roma eager to see what Ferguson can do The Corriere dello Sport stress that Dybala's absence is not related to an injury, per se, just that La Joya is being looked after a bit in terms of his match fitness and fatigue. Dybala will be 32 later this year and thus needs to be managed a bit more carefully if his club still want to get the most out of him. Meanwhile, Roma fans are excited to see what new loan signing Evan Ferguson can do. The Irish forward was once tipped for great things but has had a disappointing last couple of seasons. His most recent move was a loan spell at West Ham last winter, with the striker failing to score at all for the Hammers.
