Roma pursues Marcus Rashford amid complex salary situation
Summary

Roma is set to make its first signing of the summer in Santiago Castro, an Argentine striker from Bologna. The club has been actively searching for a left-back, but their current focus has shifted to signing a central striker.

Roma's sporting director Tony D’Amico aims to bring in new talent but faces challenges in negotiating with Rashford, who has not shown interest in an Italian move.
