Marash Kumbulla transfer saga

Entities: RCD Espanyol · Rayo Vallecano · AS Roma · Manolo González · Marash Kumbulla

Overview

In mid‑July, Roma centre‑back Marash Kumbulla returned from his loan at Mallorca and began preseason training with the club. He said his immediate focus was preparing with Roma while discussing his future with coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Torino were reported as interested, but Kumbulla left the door open to staying at Roma, moving to another Serie A side, or returning to La Liga, emphasizing his desire for a long‑term project.

By late July, attention shifted to Spanish clubs. Rayo Vallecano emerged as the leading La Liga suitor, ahead of Elche and Levante, with talks on a possible loan or permanent deal. Kumbulla also mentioned a continued relationship with Espanyol and expressed comfort with Spanish football, keeping all options open ahead of the new season.
