AS Roma has yet to find a replacement for the left wing. Fofana, the Lyon attacker, is the preferred target, but the transfer is blocked until August 26, the date of the Champions League return leg against Fenerbahce. The first leg ended 1-1, increasing the chances of qualification. The club is waiting for days of stand-by to strengthen the attack, while the search for a backup for Wesley continues. Talks for Udogie have hit a snag, as Tottenham is not open to a loan and no financial agreement has been reached. In the background, there is Luis Henrique, but the focus could shift to Alessio Cacciamani, who came directly from Torino, which has closed a deal with Fiorentina for Fortini. Cairo rejected an offer of 12 million (10 plus bonuses), asking for 20, but Torino needs to sell, and D'Amico could prepare a new bid. Among departures, Koné will stay, while Manchester United has offered 65 million for Baleba from Brighton. Soulé and Ziolkowski are on the departure list, but no official offers have arrived. Fans show enthusiasm: 35,000 tickets sold on the first day of open sales for cup season tickets, close to the 40,000 cap.
