Angelino decides to stay at Roma
Until a few weeks ago, he seemed destined for Al-Hilal, but now he's one of the most determined players in the Trigoria training camp. Angeliño has decided to stay at Roma and play his cards right with Gian Piero Gasperini, as reported by Il Tempo. In June, the left-back was ready to leave to sign with the Saudi club, a deal that would have netted Roma €26 million and a monstrous salary for the player. But the Arab club's failure to make a move has reopened the door to a stay in the capital. 'I've never expressed any desire to leave,' is the statement from those close to the player. The former Manchester City and Leipzig player, born in 1997, has shown excellent form and is eager to build on the good work he did last season. In these first weeks of preparation, he's been among the brightest: pace, intensity, and a spirit of sacrifice are the weapons he's using to earn a leading role in the new Giallorossi era.

Ghilardi excluded from Verona's friendly
Roma has set its sights on Daniele Ghilardi. The 2003-born defender is considered by the Giallorossi to be the ideal defensive reinforcement. The defender, born in 2003, has reportedly accepted the offer from Gian Piero Gasperini's team, but an agreement between the clubs is lacking. Meanwhile, Hellas Verona is playing against Rovereto, and the Italian is not in the squad. This could be a clue, as Frederic Massara continues negotiations with Hellas.
