AS Roma targets trophies with new signings and Champions League return

AS Roma enters the 2026/27 season with renewed ambitions following a third-place finish in the league, which secured a return to the Champions League. Under the management of Gian Piero Gasperini, the club has shifted its transfer strategy toward acquiring functional players rather than high volumes of signings.

Key roster moves include the permanent signing of Donyell Malen from Aston Villa through 2030, following his impactful performance in the latter half of the previous season. The club also invested approximately 35 million euros plus bonuses to sign Santiago Castro from Bologna. In defense, the team has added Konstantinos Koulierakis from Wolfsburg.
