Dybala closing in on new Roma deal
Good news where you need it most. Roma and Paulo Dybala are nearing an agreement on a contract extension, with the Argentine receiving a counter-proposal and both sides moving closer to a deal (2). Locking down La Joya long-term would be a statement of intent after a turbulent period.
Arsenal pushing hard for Manu Kone
This one is heating up. Arsenal have made fresh contact with Roma over Manu Kone and are eyeing a deal around €40m (3). The French midfielder is firmly on Arsenal's summer shopping list, and Roma may be forced to sell before the 30 June UEFA settlement deadline (1) (3). Kone, 25, has become a key figure in midfield, losing him would hurt, but the financial reality might leave Roma with little choice.
Dovbyk draws a lowball offer from Atletico
Atletico Madrid have submitted an offer for Artem Dovbyk, but it is a low one, well short of what Roma would expect for a striker they have put in the shop window (4). No panic yet. If Atleti want him, they will need to come back with something serious.
Greenwood pursuit stalled as Roma look to sell first
Roma remain keen on Mason Greenwood, but the gap between Marseille's asking price and what Roma can offer remains significant (5). The deal hinges on sales. One possible domino: PSG are interested in Mile Svilar, and if that move materializes, it could unlock the Greenwood operation (5). For now, it is stuck.
Roma eye Fenerbahce left-back Oosterwolde
Roma have completed their transfer groundwork on Jayden Oosterwolde, the Fenerbahce defender also tracked by Bologna (6). A left-footed, athletic full-back who fits the profile of what Roma need at the back. No bid yet, but preparations are done.
Fan reactions
The Kone-to-Arsenal noise is hitting hard. One Roma supporter shared the L'Equipe report on r/Gunners with a tone of resignation, while the broader mood on r/ASRoma reflects a fanbase bracing for a summer of key departures. A separate bright spot: fans welcomed the news that Tony D'Amico will become the club's new Sporting Director for the 2026/27 season, a move seen as a step toward stability off the pitch.
