Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico reviews club summer transfer business

Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico addressed the club’s summer transfer activity during his first press conference on September 2, 2026. The director confirmed that the club reduced its wage bill by approximately 15% to comply with UEFA financial restrictions. D’Amico noted that the club prioritized retaining core players including Dybala, Pellegrini, Mancini, and Cristante. While acknowledging the squad may be numerically thin for three competitions, including the Champions League, he stated that the organization plans to evaluate additional signings during the January transfer window. Negotiations for certain targets failed during the final hours of the window due to bureaucratic issues or players having second thoughts. D’Amico emphasized that the long-term objective for the club remains qualification for the Champions League.
