Roma Rumors & News

LiverPool Offside "Gini Wijnaldum’s footballing future remains uncertain, and there’s still a slim chance he could re-sign with Liverpool, but the assumption at this stage is that the veteran Dutch midfielder will be moving on in the summer when his contract expires. That means the Reds will..." April 08

chiesaditotti "Roma may not be the youngest team in the league, but they have an abundance of youth where it counts (and concerns) most: in central defense. Apart from the midfield maestro, an argument could be made that the most mentally taxing position on the pitch is center-back. While these players..." March 30

chiesaditotti "Edin Dzeko is slowly worming his way back into Paulo Fonseca's good graces. With the two men engaged in a behind-the-scenes cold war over the past several weeks (if not months), Dzeko, Roma's third all-time leading scorer, suddenly found himself playing second fiddle to Borja..." February 22

chiesaditotti "Pau Lopez may have reclaimed the starting keeper gig from Antonio Mirante, but that doesn't mean his future with Roma any more secure than it was several months ago. With nearly two years of inconsistent and, at times, erratic play, Roma are reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper..." February 11

chiesaditotti "I've been covering European football long enough to know that most transfer rumors are, at best, loosely informed speculation and, at worst, complete garbage. Even with that realization, every now and then I run across a rumor that stops me in my tracks. So when I woke up this..." January 28

chiesaditotti "No one really knows what's going on between Roma coach Paulo Fonseca and now former captain Edin Dzeko. There is plenty of conjecture, sure, but unless you've been in a room with the two men, all you can really do is speculate. Rumor has it that the debacle against Spezia in..." January 27

Daily Mail "Edin Dzeko trained alone at Roma on Monday as he looks set to leave the club before the closure of the transfer window. As reported by Goal, the experienced forward has reportedly fallen out with Roma boss Paulo Fonseca over the departure of team manager Gianluca..." January 26

chiesaditotti "After nearly returning to AS Roma late last summer, only to see his move fall apart at the last minute because the deal couldn't technically be completed before the transfer deadline, Stephan El Shaarawy has spent the bulk of the 2020-2021 season in isolation, splitting his time..." January 22

chiesaditotti "The dominoes keep falling into place for a swap deal between Roma and Everton that will see Brazilian forward Bernard re-unite with coach Paulo Fonseca in the Eternal City. Multiple reports around the web, including ForzaRoma, claim that Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti has given..." January 08

chiesaditotti "It only takes a few (very) good games for the headlines to turn your way. We’ve said it many times before and Rick Karsdorp is the latest giallorosso to exemplify that Romaverse truism. In just a matter of weeks, Karsdorp has gone from being written about as “fighting for his Roma..." January 05

Chiesa Di Totti "Free agency isn't a destination for European footballers in the same way as their American counterparts in baseball, basketball, or the NFL, where reaching the end of one's playing contract is often seen as an accomplishment rather than a last resort. With North American athletes..." January 01

Chiesa Di Totti "In a transfer rumor that would have made us all giddy a decade ago, the Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Roma, not satisfied with either Pau Lopez or Antonio Mirante as their number one option in goal, are looking to veteran Torino netminder Salvatore Sirigu. While the club has a..." December 22

Chiesa Di Totti "Roma's historic struggles at full-back are well documented in these spaces, and while they've solved the left half of that equation thanks to Leonardo Spinazzola's breakout campaign (as well as the promise offered by young Riccardo Calafiori), the right-back spot remains a question..." December 18

Leicester Mercury "Amadou Diawara's future at Roma is back under the spotlight after reports in Italian media claimed the Serie A side would consider selling the midfielder. The Foxes has been repeatedly linked with Diawara whose position  was under great scrutiny during the last..." December 12

chiesaditotti "We probably knew (or felt it in our bones) that this transfer rumor was bound to happen, sooner or later. Ever since we saw Marco Silvestri’s heroics for Verona against AC Milan earlier this season, all it would take was one bad Antonio Mirante performance in a Roma jersey for..." December 03

chiesaditotti "Midfielders. Even when you have a dozen of them, that somehow never seems to be enough. You can have a glut of defensive midfielders running rampant all over the pitch, erasing attacks and charging into tackles like a wild boar, but spend the entire transfer window scouring the planet..." December 01

chiesaditotti "Roma’sRoma’s search for an heir to Edin Dzeko has long been a hot topic among Romanisti. And while it’s unlikely that any striker will immediately be able to replicate what the Bosnian Bomber brings to the table, the Giallorossi will soon need someone to take on that tall..." November 17

chiesaditotti "Well, how's that for timing? Just a day after giving Stephan El Shaarawy's return to Roma an 80% chance of happening, it seems like we were being overly cautious in those projections. With 16 goals through seven matches, Paulo Fonseca's attack is the league’s second..." November 13

chiesaditotti "Predicting what Roma will do during any given transfer window is always a fool's errand, but that already difficult and inadvisable task becomes even harder during the January transfer season; a time when Roma vacillate between doing absolutely nothing or making club-altering..."
