Gasperini wants Sancho at Roma
Jadon Sancho is now said to be in Roma's sights. After his rumored move to Juventus collapsed due to the failed transfer of Nico Gonzalez, Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini expressed strong interest in the English winger. As reported by Marco Giordano of Radio CRC, any deal involving Sancho would involve transfer fee and gross salary that could reach a total of €80-90 million. This is undoubtedly a significant sum for the Giallorossi. The Friedkins, taken by surprise by the coach's request, are carefully evaluating the feasibility of the deal. The player's salary, approximately €15 million per season, represents the biggest obstacle to the negotiations.

Pizarro confident in Gasperini's abilities: 'Roma will be amazing with him.'
Former Roma midfielder David Pizarro spoke to Corriere dello Sport about Gian Piero Gasperini's new reign in the Italian capital. 'I have a piece of advice to Roma: get back in touch with your people, with the fans. I say this with nostalgia, but for all clubs: before there were real relationships, today we isolate ourselves a little.' 'Gasperini is demanding and it seems to me that he has also made it clear publicly where the squad needs to be improved.' 'Roma needs a major trophy. We play to win, not to finish fourth. My generation came close. Before I die, I hope to celebrate at least one Scudetto at the Circus Maximus. I believe deeply in the Friedkins' investments.' 'I know Gasperini will do a great job. Roma will be amazing with him in charge.'

Reasons behind Florent Ghisolfi's Roma exit
Serie A side Roma will part ways with sporting director Florent Ghisolfi soon and the decision has come rather abruptly from the Friedkins, who are no strangers to making those. La Gazzetta dello Sport have explored the situation and they speak of the reasons behind the Frenchman's exit from the Stadio Olimpico. Advertisement They believe that tensions were lingering at the club due to the situation of Mile Svilar, whose contract situation was being delayed. While the farewell took place by mutual agreement, the goalkeeper's renewal proved to be the last straw for the Friedkins. The newspaper claim that Ghisolfi had a strained relationship with many agents – including those of Alexis Saelemaekers. The ownership wanted to cash in on the sale of Angelino and the failure to do has fallen on Ghisolfi's shoulders. More than that, there were issues regarding the renewals of many Primavera players. These issues emerged in a clear video call involving the parties and the Friedkins learned that only Claudio Ranieri's intervention was making sure of Svilar's renewal. A solution was reached early in the morning and CFO Lorenzo Vitali was the one to show Ghisolfi the door, with Ricky Massara in pole position to replace the Frenchman. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Roma's Financial Fair Play restrictions to be lifted in 2026
Roma are heading into the final year of major financial restrictions on the market imposed by UEFA. As evidenced by several news outlets in Italy today, the constraints imposed by the Settlement Agreement with UEFA will officially expire in June 2026. Advertisement Until then, the Giallorossi will have to continue to operate with narrow margins, respecting the parameters of Financial Fair Play. But the horizon is finally starting to clear. From 2026, barring new violations, Roma will exit the sanctions regime that has forced it in recent years to adopt a policy of containment, made up of forced sales and targeted signings, often on a free transfer or with creative formulas involving loans deals. A necessity rather than a choice, due to the obligations undertaken with UEFA to return to the expected economic parameters. For the Friedkins, this will be a turning point. Once freed from the restrictions, the American ownership will no longer have any excuses: it will finally be able to build a Roma that lives up to its declared ambitions. More freedom on the market, more room for investment and, consequently, fewer constraints in building a competitive squad for the top of Serie A.
