Roma evaluates free agent Raphaël Guerreiro to bolster squad depth
Summary

Roma is considering a contract offer for free agent Raphaël Guerreiro to improve its roster depth ahead of a challenging stretch of matches. The 32-year-old Portuguese player, who previously contemplated retirement this summer, spent the last 10 seasons playing in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Over his time in Germany, he recorded 42 goals and 43 assists across 223 league appearances while operating as both a wing-back and midfielder. Manager Gian Piero Gasperini is currently assessing the veteran to help the team navigate upcoming fixtures against Fenerbahçe, Como, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Napoli. Roma opened the 2026-2027 season with a winning record, including a recent victory against Atalanta, but the coaching staff seeks additional Champions League experience to manage the rotation through the demanding six-week schedule.
