Roma Struggle in the Transfer Market




It’s been a challenging window for Roma, as the club navigates a tough market. Drummond remains committed to lowering both the average age and wage bill of the squad, signaling a clear shift toward youth and sustainability.

Incomings so far:

• Presnel Kimpembe – the experienced French defender joins to bolster the backline.
• Takehiro Tomiyasu – the versatile Japanese defender adds further solidity.
• Nicolò Rovella – a late-night deal secured the promising midfielder.

There’s been interest in several Roma players — Rüdiger and Pellegrini among those attracting attention — but no deals have materialized yet. Roma’s struggles in the market mean they will miss out on the upcoming auction again.

On a positive note, Roma have qualified for the DPT, giving them a platform to showcase the new-look side.

Youth Movement:

• M. Nilsson has been promoted as a squad player.
• T. Rosicky (loaned to Shakhtar) and G. Heinze (loaned to Norwich) will be looking to gain valuable experience — good luck to them both.
• High hopes that the Boss and SteveO develop the lads well.

There’s growing reflection from the gaffer, who admires the rebuilds happening at other clubs. The appeal of starting fresh with a young side is strong — but for now, the commitment to Roma remains intact.

As the hustle and bustle of the pre-season continues, managers across the league are hard at work preparing for what promises to be an intriguing campaign.

Roma’s Busy Transfer Day: Rudiger Departs, Fresh Faces Arrive, and More Moves Expected

Roma continue their squad overhaul under Drummond’s leadership, with experienced German superstar Antonio Rudiger leaving the club in a major £80 million deal. Drummond publicly thanked Rudiger for his service, marking the end of the defender’s time in Rome.

In response, Roma have moved swiftly to strengthen the squad, securing two promising youngsters — Luiz and Güler — who are expected to slot straight into the first team. However, Drummond has made it clear the rebuild isn’t complete, with plans to add at least one more outfield player and potentially a new goalkeeper.

The ruthless clear-out of older players has left stars like Kimpembe and Barella concerned for their futures as Drummond shapes a younger, more dynamic squad.

Meanwhile, the club confirmed receiving a lucrative offer for Evan Ndicka. Though the bid was turned down, the suitor now holds first refusal should Roma choose to sell in the future.

Finally, long-serving midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini has also departed, capping off Roma’s busiest day of transfer activity so far. Drummond indicated that, after this flurry of movement, things are expected to settle — at least for now.

Roma Enter the Unknown

As Roma prepares for the new season, uncertainty looms large over the club. Like any team at this stage, Roma faces a mix of promise and doubt — from new player acquisitions and the form of key individuals, to tactical changes under new leadership and the strength of their rivals. But for Roma, the sense of unpredictability feels deeper this year.

The days of former manager Derek are now firmly in the past, and with him, the “Roma way” that once defined the club has faded. Yet, the scars of Hamza’s damaging tenure still linger, a period of neglect that nearly brought Roma to its knees. Supporters remain haunted by how close the club came to collapse.

Current manager Drummond has been candid about the challenges ahead. He’s acknowledged that the sweeping changes in personnel were necessary — but has also warned fans to brace for a long and difficult journey before any real upturn in fortunes can be expected.

Looking to the Future: The Stadium

Off the pitch, Roma’s leadership is also focused on the club’s long-term future. There are plans in place to eventually expand the Stadio Olimpico, a move designed to boost matchday revenues and solidify the club’s financial foundations. While timelines remain uncertain, the ambition is clear: to ensure Roma has a home fit for its aspirations.


The “Lupetto” and Roma’s Identity

At the heart of Roma’s identity lies the iconic Lupetto logo — the stylized wolf that has long symbolized the club’s spirit and connection to the city. As Roma navigates this period of change, questions about its branding have surfaced. Is it time to modernize the logo? Or does the Lupetto represent a crucial link to the club’s proud traditions — one that must endure through the turbulence?

For Roma, these are defining times. The path ahead is uncertain, but the club, its fans, and its wolf emblem will face the future together.
