Win or bust in Verona
Sunday is it. Roma go to Verona for the final Serie A matchday, and nothing less than a win will do. Champions League qualification comes down to 90 minutes at the Bentegodi (2).
Gasperini called fourth place "an incredible achievement" and admitted he hopes the Friedkins become "more and more present" (1). Everything is in your hands. One game. No safety net. Win, and you're there.
De Rossi jokes about a Roman stay
Daniele De Rossi, now managing Genoa, had a bit of fun about his post-season plans. "I'll stay in Rome, I'm in no rush to go on holiday anyway," he said with a grin (3). The former Roma legend clearly still feels at home in the capital. No further intrigue here, just DDR being DDR.

Ex-Roma goalkeeper Alisson is reportedly open to a Liverpool exit, with Juventus pushing hard to land him (4). Why should you care? A sell-on clause from his 2018 transfer could net Roma a windfall if he moves again. Worth keeping an eye on how this one develops.
