Champions League budget on the line at Verona
Everything hinges on this one. Roma need a fourth-place finish, and the trip to Verona is the final hurdle. Win it and the Champions League money unlocks — the difference between a restrained summer and the kind of window Friedkin has been sketching out behind the scenes. You go into this knowing exactly what's at stake. Score unavailable at time of writing. (2)
Friedkin ready to spend big, but a sacrifice looms
The plan is ambitious. Nusa, Brandt, and Alajbegovic are all on the list, and the ownership wants to move decisively. But the numbers need to work. Either Koné or Ndicka could be the name that makes everything else possible — sold to fund the rebuild. Ziolkowski is also in the conversation as part of the broader project. (2)
Inter circling Koné
Inter want him. Chivu has been watching closely and the interest is concrete. Roma would only let him go for a high price, but the door is not closed. If a big offer arrives, the club may see it as the catalyst for the wider market push. (1)
Massara out after Verona
The sporting director change is coming. Massara will leave once the final whistle blows at Verona. Two names already in the frame: D'Amico and Sogliano. The new hire will shape the summer alongside Friedkin's budget — so this decision matters almost as much as any signing. (3)
