Italian Euro 2032 stadium bids and AS Roma transfers

Entities: UEFA · Renzo Barbera stadium · Movimento 5 Stelle · Palermo Football Club · Claudio Lotito

Overview

Tony D’Amico’s move from Atalanta to AS Roma progressed through May‑June 2026. After negotiations to terminate his Atalanta contract, Roma announced his appointment as sporting director in early June, with the formal release confirmed on 9 June. D’Amico’s first tasks include renewing key contracts—Paulo Dybala, Gianluca Mancini and other core players—while the club navigates a €50 million UEFA settlement deadline that may be extended to 2027, limiting transfer activity until his role is fully operational.

Roma’s transfer agenda continued with extensions for Celik, Dybala and Pellegrini, and pursued targets such as Alejandro Garnacho, Antonio Nusa (€3.5 m + bonuses) and Crysencio Summerville (≈€45 m). Goalkeeper Sebastiano Desplanches was renewed and Mattia Fortin loaned out, while the season‑ticket campaign launched mid‑month.

Parallel progress on Euro 2032 venues accelerated. On 30 July the FIGC received dossiers from 13 cities covering 16 stadium projects, now under technical review. Highlights include Palermo’s Renzo Barbera redevelopment backed by City Football Group, Bologna’s new 30,000‑seat arena, Salerno’s Arechi upgrade, three Rome proposals (Olimpico renovation, Pietralata new stadium, Flaminio project) and a new San Siro stadium. The Palermo city council approved the Renzo Barbera convention agreement on 31 July, confirming the technical and financial framework. The FIGC will shortlist five venues and forward them to UEFA by 1 October, aiming to deliver modern, accessible stadiums for the co‑hosted Euro 2032 tournament.
