However, the Spanish side did not pursue a permanent deal for him.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport, Kumbulla has made it clear to the people around him that he will try to remain at Roma by convincing newly appointed head coach Gian Piero Gasperini in preseason.
In case Gasperini was to decide to look for another defender in his place instead, Kumbulla would seek other solutions in European top flights.

That's according to Diario Sport, who have on Saturday provided an insight into the situation. Advertisement Wide-man Nico has of course already agreed on the terms of a contract with Barcelona, all the way through the summer of 2031. With Athletic Club having made clear that they have no intention of negotiating a transfer with Barca, the Blaugrana have in turn been left with no other option than to pay the Spanish international's exit clause, in full. And it is precisely as much which Nico himself would like to see forked over at the earliest possibility opportunity. As per a report from Sport, whilst the 22-year-old has not set many conditions for his joining Barcelona, he has sent one request to Deco and co: Advertisement 'He wants the payment of his clause to be done before July 9, the date on which Athletic returns to work to carry out the preseason. Nico does not want soap operas or speculation of any kind and is clear that the pressure he would have to endure would be very strong if he joins the discipline of the Basque team.'

Report – Atalanta & Como Stars Join Lazio Ace On Inter Milan Shortlist Of Calhanoglu Replacements
Atalanta's Ederson and Como's Lucas Da Cunha have joined Nicolo Rovella on Inter Milan's shortlist of targets to replace Hakan Calhanoglu. This according to today's print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter Milan are awaiting offers for Hakan Calhanoglu this summer. The Nerazzurri are well aware that the 31-year-old is a priority target for Galatasaray. Meanwhile, clubs in the Saudi Pro League are also reportedly taking note. Moreover, Tuttosport anticipate, Inter do not consider Calhanoglu to be 'unsellable.' The Turk earns €6.5 million net per season on a contract until the end of June 2027. Therefore, if Inter were to sell him it would save them approximately €26 million in gross wages. As such, Inter will definitely listen to offers as they contemplate rebuilding their midfield.
