AS Roma is working to strengthen its attack in the final hours of the transfer window, with Stuttgart's Jamie Leweling and Newcastle's Nick Woltemade as targets. The Giallorossi, who started Serie A with a win and sit seventh in the table with 3 points, are chasing late deals according to a report from ANSA Sport.
The hottest negotiation concerns Jamie Leweling, the VfB Stuttgart forward. The German club is said to have received a 35 million euro offer for the player, described as a "substantial fee". The capital club wants to complete the operation to add a winger option to the attacking department led by manager Luciano Spalletti.
What other targets does Roma have?
Beyond Leweling, Roma's management is evaluating Nick Woltemade. The Dutch forward from Newcastle United could arrive on a loan deal worth five million euros. Another track is Luiz Henrique from Zenit St. Petersburg, but this move appears linked to the potential departure of Matias Soulé.
Fulham is pressing to bring Soulé to London after he scored a goal on the opening matchday against Lecce. His possible sale would open up space and resources for a new attacking addition. The team, which has scored 4 goals without conceding any in just one match, seeks depth to handle a busy schedule that includes the next home fixture against Atalanta on September 5th.
Who is leaving the squad?
While looking to bring players in, Roma is also arranging some departures. Robinio Vaz is leaving the club to join Hull City on a two-year loan formula. The deal includes a two million euro fee plus a buy option set at 30 million. The exact same formula has been applied for Jan Ziolkowski, who leaves the capital after featuring in the defensive sector.
Another outgoing operation involves Edon Zhegrova. The Kosovan winger is headed to Al-Ittihad for a "substantial sum", according to the news agency. These movements free up squad space and resources for incoming transfers, in a market that sees Roma active on multiple fronts.
How is the squad shaping up for the next match?
Spalletti will have to manage some important absentees for the clash against Atalanta at the Olimpico. Currently sidelined through injury are Neil El Aynaoui, Devyne Rensch, and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, as shown on the updated injuries list. The team, despite the opening win, is already three points behind leaders Inter, so every point will be important.
The next home match against an Atalanta side sitting ninth in the table represents an opportunity to consolidate their position. Fans can follow the team's entire journey on our fixtures page and check the live standings in the standings section.
Roma's management is working at a frantic pace to deliver a competitive squad to Spalletti, with the aim of closing the gap to the top and facing the new season in the best possible way. The next test is set for Saturday, September 5th, 2026 at 8:45 PM at the Olimpico.
