Roma hold exploratory talks for Fabio Silva

Yahoo6 days ago
Roma is looking for a versatile striker for Gian Piero Gasperini.
One of the names at the top of the list is Wolverhampton Wanderers' striker Fabio Silva.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Massara is closely monitoring the situation and has already held exploratory talks with the English side.
Silva's contract with the English club is expiring, a factor that could facilitate a deal for the Giallorossi.
Silva began his Premier League adventure in 2020, but over the years he has been loaned to various teams, including Las Palmas.
Despite his central striker role, Silva also has the right characteristics to adapt as a left winger, a position Gasperini is looking to strengthen.
Wolverhampton Wanderers' asking price is around €15 million, a figure that could be within Roma's reach.

Silverstone: 75 Years of the British Grand Prix

For a few days last month, the quiet English village ofSilverstone, Northamptonshire, became the center of the racing world. Not only had the 2025Formula 1season – one of the most competitive in a decade – reached at its halfway point, but the week would mark a special milestone for the historic British circuit. Braving a heatwave, thousands of fans flocked the dozens of temporary campsites set up on nearby farmland, while A-listers from around the world descended upon the circuit in their droves – as eager to be seen as they were to catch a glimpse of the action. In total,500,000 peoplewould pass through Silverstone's hallowed gates across the week, setting a new record for the number of people in attendance. This year's race marked the 75th outing for theBritish Grand Prixat Silverstone, with 20 drivers from 10 teams battling for both championship points and a place in the history books. The grid was a goulash of seasoned veterans, rookies and rising stars, including the ever-familiar SirLewis Hamilton– a record nine-time Silverstone winner – making his first appearance as aFerraridriver on home soil. It wasn't to be Hamilton's week, though, who'd qualify in fifth and finish fourth. His arch rival,Max Verstappen, wouldn't fair much better: after starting the race in pole position, the current World Drivers' Champion would end it where Hamilton began. And at the opposite end of the grid,Sauber's39-year-old GermanNico Hülkenbergwas getting ready to mark his 240th Formula 1 career race – and thirteenth attempt at Silverstone – in 19th place. What would be an unenviable position for any driver to be in was was made worse by the fact that Hülkenberg had failed to secure a podium finish in any of his previous 239 races – a Formula 1 record he begrudgingly held. However, on that sunny day in July, luck was to be on his side and the number 13 would defy the odds and prove to be his lucky number: Hülkenberg would finish third and be joined by theMclarenduo on his very first Formula 1 podium. Silverstone – the spiritual home of Formula 1 – has always been full drama and surprises. The circuit is credited with holding the very first Formula One World Championship event as we know it now, the 1950 British Grand Prix, a race that was won by Italian driver Giuseppe 'Nino' Farina for team Alfa Romeo. Held at the height of Spring in mid-May, the 1950 race featured a 21-car starting grid – nine of whom were British, three times as many as featured in 2025's. And yet only three drivers finished the 70-lap race: Italian's Farina and Luigi Fagioli in first and second, with British driver Reg Parnell in third. Have we already said that Silverstone is full of drama? In the 75 years since its inception, the British Grand Prix has produced some of the most memorable moments in Formula 1 history. Built on a former Royal Air Force airfield, the circuit has earned a reputation for being one of the most challenging tracks on the F1 calendar – and not just because of the famously unpredictable, often wet English summers. Throughout the circuit are sections of track that challenge both the driver's physical and mental skills and the team's engineering prowess, like the notorious 'Maggotts and Becketts' bends between turns 10 and 14 that have gained legendary status in the sport. Yet, while Silverstone is considered to be one of the sport's most classic circuits, it has also adapted to and evolved with the times. In 1950, the average speed was around 91 mph, compared to 145 mph in 2025; comparatively, the original track length in 1950 was around 2.88-miles and today it stands at 3.66 miles. Since 1975 – the first year Silverstone received major track alterations, with the introduction of the course's first chicanes – the British Grand Prix has undergone several meaningful updates periodically, evolving from the focus on flat-out speed of the early days to becoming one of F1's most well-rounded circuits. Today, the track at Silverstone is comprised of sections that balance high-speed with technical know-how – something that not only challenges drivers on race day, but has more holistically contributed to the overall advances in the sport, from athletes' technical abilities to the way teams understand car dynamics and design. Silverstone is where heritage meets spectacle. This year's winner, Mclaren'sLando Norris, is part of Formula 1's next generation – drivers who've come up in an era of accelerated change, both technically and culturally. The 25-year-old British driver and his Australian teammateOscar Piastri, 24, have been neck-and-neck at the top of the F1 table all season – a rivalry we're seeing played out in real-time, one that's probably writing the script for the whatever comes after Netflix's smash-hitFormula 1: Drive to Survivedocumentary series has faded away. This year's British Grand Prix tapped into culture in ways not seen before, one of which saw Nigerian-British artist Slawndesignthe Racing Bulls' car – something described by the artist as a 'first-ever.' As sports and culture continue to collide, and technology advances unceasingly, it's interesting to imagine what Formula 1 will look like 75 years from now.
