Roma didn’t finalize any rash sale on June 30th, even though a few teams tried to exploit the situation. Juventus were quickly repelled for Mile Svilar. They also rejected Inter and Porto’s approaches for Niccolò Pisilli. Instead, Matias Soulé has rejected a move to Saudi Arabia. His agent voiced frustration over how the matter has been handled.
According to Corriere dello Sport, while the Giallorossi didn’t file for a postponement to 2027, but they have another month to include some sales in last season’s balance sheets. UEFA has granted a tacit extension, which goes for every team, because of the World Cup. Instead, that’s not the case for the acquisitions. The capital clubs will step up their efforts in that respect.
In reality, Roma are disinterested in parting ways with any of their cornerstones. Gian Piero Gasperini wants to keep Wesley, Evan N’Dicka, and Manu Koné. The hierarchy doesn’t want to irk the gaffer.
With no relevant exits in the next month, the Giallorossi will argue to UEFA that they have enough to contain losses through moves around the fringes anyway. If they are unsuccessful, they could face a €10M+ fine and squad limitations in 2027/2028, while harsher sanctions are unlikely.
Our Take on Roma
Despite all the buzz, there’s been little momentum about the departure of any of their top players, besides Soulé, who has been pretty publicly offloaded at this point, and it’d be surprising if he stayed. Bolstering the squad after retaining everybody will set up a proper push to compete for the Scudetto. They had better have done their math right, or there could be serious consequences down the line.
