Roma keen on Jonathan Rowe
Roma continues to work on the transfer market to find new offensive reinforcements. After the arrivals of El Aynaoui, Ferguson, Wesley, and the imminent arrival of Ghilardi, the Giallorossi club shows no signs of slowing down. Gian Piero Gasperini has reportedly requested a further alternative in attack, specifically a second striker to partner Paulo Dybala, Matías Soulé, and Tommaso Baldanzi. According to the latest name on Frederic Massara's list is Jonathan Rowe, a young attacking winger born in 2003 currently playing for Marseille. The Englishman, coming off a season with three goals and three assists in 28 Ligue 1 appearances, has also made an impact at international level, contributing a goal to England's victory at the Under-21 European Championship. Marseille values Rowe at around €20 million. Premier League clubs such as Leeds and Bournemouth are also interested in the left-back, as well as Atalanta, who could become interested if Lookman's transfer were to materialize.

Dybala to return for preseason friendly with Cannes
Good news for Gasperini, who will soon be able to count on Paulo Dybala and Tommaso Baldanzi again. Baldanzi missed the match against Kaiserslautern due to a muscle strain, but tests have ruled out any injuries. As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Empoli player will return to training with the team in the coming days. The same goes for Dovbyk, who is still resting after some thigh problems but is recovering. Paulo Dybala, who was kept on precautionary rest during the trip to Germany, is also expected to return on Thursday for the friendly against Cannes at the Tre Fontane stadium. The team is therefore approaching peak condition ahead of the first competitive matches of the season.

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.

Dybala aces medical tests, begins individual training
Yesterday at Trigoria, Paulo Dybala underwent athletic tests, including running tests, to assess his physical condition following surgery on his left semitendinosus tendon last March. The results were encouraging, and he will undergo a follow-up MRI today, writes Gazzetta dello Sport. Advertisement The medical staff's impressions are positive, and barring any surprises, he will be available to Gasperini for the start of the training camp on Sunday. In the first few days, he will undergo personalized training as part of his re-athletic program, but he has returned in excellent condition, thanks in part to the work he completed during his vacation and his careful nutrition. The goal is to be present for the league opener against Bologna on August 23rd.

Roma and the beautiful mess of Serie A
Watching Roma play is kind of like opening an old board game you haven't touched in years. You remember the rules, sort of. But then halfway through, the pieces don't fit right, someone makes up a new move, and it still ends up being the most fun you've had all week. It's not the cleanest club in Serie A — not in terms of gameplay or results — but that's not really the point. With Roma, it's not about precision. It's about tension. Emotion. That slightly chaotic build-up to either magic or disaster. Fans don't follow the team expecting perfect play. They follow because no one else does drama quite like this. Advertisement And like in any risky game, you kind of have to accept the gamble. There's a weird similarity with online experiences where outcomes aren't fixed. Think late equalizers, strange red cards, injuries out of nowhere — it feels like a round of something wild on The strategy's there, sure. But chance? Oh, there's plenty of that too. What Roma Gives You — Besides Heart Attacks Nobody can accuse Roma of being boring. Even their dull matches come with a subplot. A miscommunication. A flare in the crowd. A coach staring into the void, questioning life. Some of the things fans have grown accustomed to when it comes to the Giallorossi are: Advertisement Inconsistent results (as we saw at the beginning of last season) Games that shift moods three times in one half Transfer market drama And still, the Olimpico fills up. That's love. Or madness—it depends on who you ask. A Club That's Always Searching for Itself Despite its popularity and notoriety, Roma have struggled to attain the same silverware as northern rivals Juventus, Milan, and Inter. Opinion varies as to why the club has only won four league titles. The weird part is that Roma keeps trying to reinvent itself by overhauling it squad or appointing a new manager. Despite the changes the team always ends up playing like…Roma. It seemingly doesn't matter who's coaching, whether it's Paulo Dybala or Matias Soule on the pitch—there's always that same mix of promise and fragility. Advertisement Even the Special One, José Mourinho, couldn't completely change that. He added steel, a bit of arrogance, and some European bite. Winning the Conference League, which gave the fans something to finally shout about. But then, of course, they went and finished sixth in Serie A — classic. You start to notice a pattern after a while: Big games? They show up. Lesser teams? They overthink. Underperform. Suffer. And yet, there's no giving up. The squad shifts, the tactics get tweaked, the fan songs stay loud. It's a loop. But not a boring one. Serie A Isn't What It Used to Be — And Neither Is Roma The league's faster now. Less of that slow, chess-match stuff people used to associate with Italian football. Teams like Atalanta and Napoli run like they've been drinking energy drinks all season. Advertisement Roma? They're trying to keep up, but they still carry that old-school weight. It's like they're half in the past, half in a rebuild. Still, they've got things going for them: A fanbase that doesn't care what others think A kind of mythos that turns even bad seasons into 'chapters' of something bigger Other clubs chase trophies. Roma chases meaning. Even a 1–0 win can feel like an opera if the tension was right. And if it was a Derby? That's a whole Greek tragedy in ninety minutes. You Don't Root for Roma — You Live It Supporting this team isn't a hobby. It's a full-time side quest. You check news, you argue about formations, you pretend you don't care and then scream at the screen. It's a relationship with way too many ups and downs, but leaving isn't an option. Advertisement So no, Roma isn't a polished product. It's not Juventus. It's not Milan. But it has soul. And in a football world that keeps getting sleeker and colder, maybe that's why people still care. They want something real. Something messy. Something human. And Roma? Roma is all of that — sometimes too much of it.
