Roma prepares for 2026-2027 season amid transfer pursuits
Summary

AS Roma gears up for the 2026-2027 season opener against Fiorentina on Monday. The club's Sporting Director Tony D’Amico is working to finalize a left-winger and a left wing-back to strengthen the squad. Under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, this season follows a return to the Champions League, giving the team fresh momentum. Preseason performance has raised questions about readiness, but Roma retains key players, including Dybala. The expectation is for visible improvement in Gasperini's second year, with a focus on consistent performances against top teams.
