AS Roma rejects €100 million offers for key players to meet UEFA deadline

AS Roma is racing to meet a UEFA financial‑fair‑play deadline of 30 June, needing to generate roughly €50 million in plus‑value and an additional €10‑12 million from player sales. The club has been linked with potential offers for Argentine midfielder Matías Soulé – reportedly €30 million plus bonuses from Saudi clubs Al‑Ahli and Al‑Diraiyah – and French defender Ibrahima Koné, though no concrete deal has materialised.

Despite interest from Premier League sides, Roma has turned down offers totalling about €100 million for Brazilian winger Wesley and Belgian goalkeeper Mile Svilar, both deemed essential by coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The refusals underline the club’s strategy of keeping core players while negotiating selectively to satisfy financial requirements without compromising the squad’s competitive plan.
