Ziolkowski price tag set, Salah-Eddine deal close

Ziolkowski price tag set as Forest circle

Nottingham Forest have been told what they'll need to pay to land Roma defender Jan Ziolkowski this summer. The Serie A side have reportedly set a concrete asking price for the Polish centre-back, with Forest keen to bring him to the Premier League. (1)

With Roma under pressure to complete player sales by June 30 to satisfy UEFA's settlement agreement, this is one to watch closely. Every departure needs to generate capital gains, and Ziolkowski's valuation could make this deal one the club can't easily dismiss, but losing a key defender after such a strong season would sting.

Salah-Eddine set to join from PSV

Anass Salah-Eddine is heading to Roma. The PSV left-back is expected to complete a move, with the Dutch club already lining up his replacement, AZ Alkmaar's Mats Rots has been identified as the man to fill the gap. (2)

The deal was reported Tuesday, and it addresses one of the squad's known weak spots. Ranieri has been working without real depth at wingback, so this signing makes sense. He'll arrive with something to prove and a clear path to minutes.

Fan reactions

Roma supporters are already thinking bigger. A Di Marzio report claiming the club will push hard for Mason Greenwood, with an initial request above €50 million, has fans debating whether the forward is worth that kind of outlay. Elsewhere, nostalgia hit hard with a clip of 36-year-old Francesco Totti bossing the Giuseppe Meazza doing the rounds, a reminder of what a true Roma icon looks like. See the Greenwood discussion
