As the summer transfer window countdown ticks down to its final week, drama is unfolding across the football landscape—especially for AS Roma. With Ricky Massara scrambling to polish off a squad tailored for Gian Piero Gasperini, rumors are flying faster than ever.

Dovbyk's Newcastle Link Heats Up

Artem Dovbyk is at the center of transfer chatter, as whispers of his exit from Roma intensify. Having failed to live up to his La Liga golden boot fame in Italy, the Ukrainian striker seems misaligned with Gasperini's vision. Just this morning, reports linked Dovbyk to Villarreal, but the big news is his potential move to Newcastle.

Filippo Biafora revealed that intermediaries are pushing Dovbyk towards the Magpies. With Newcastle’s new Saudi ownership ready to splash cash, and Aleksander Isak hinting at a departure, Dovbyk could become their key target. This situation is developing, and fans would be wise to keep a close eye on it.

Left-Back Shake-Up Expected

In the backline department, Anass Salah-Eddine's future looks bleak under Gasperini, with reports suggesting he's headed out on loan to Cagliari, who have an option to buy. However, he’s reportedly keen to explore a return to Holland before confirming his exit.

Adding to the left-back frenzy, Bubba Sangare is also poised to leave, with Valencia seemingly ready to secure a loan deal ahead of Porto.

Tsimikas on Roma's Radar

To bolster their defense, Roma has set their sights on Liverpool's Kostas Tsimikas as an ideal addition. They prefer a loan deal with an option to buy, while Liverpool is angling for a permanent sale. Negotiations will be crucial, especially since Roma reportedly already has a green light from Tsimikas himself.

Massara on a Mission in London

In a bold move, Massara has flown to London to finalize potential signings, particularly targeting Jadon Sancho for the 2025-26 season. With Roma and Manchester United reportedly on the same page regarding a deal, all eyes are on Massara as he attempts to persuade Sancho to make the switch to the Olimpico.

And it doesn't stop there—while in London, Massara is also considering Chelsea’s teen sensation Tyrique George as a Plan B should the Sancho deal falter. Expect significant developments as negotiations heat up!
