Minimal distance between Roma and Palmeiras for Rios
Richard Rios is Roma's top midfield target. Giallorossi sporting director Frederic Massara is at work to secure the midfielder's arrival. An agreement with Palmeiras is still pending, as the Brazilian side remain firm on their €30 million asking price. The distance between the two clubs now appears to be minimal. Roma's new offer to Palmeiras for Rios is €27 million plus €3 million in bonuses. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, however, the Brazilian club's asking price is a fixed €30 million, excluding bonuses. The same request was made to West Ham and Zenit: both clubs were willing to pay, but the player wants to move to Italy.

Ghilardi excluded from Verona's friendly
Roma has set its sights on Daniele Ghilardi. The 2003-born defender is considered by the Giallorossi to be the ideal defensive reinforcement. The defender, born in 2003, has reportedly accepted the offer from Gian Piero Gasperini's team, but an agreement between the clubs is lacking. Meanwhile, Hellas Verona is playing against Rovereto, and the Italian is not in the squad. This could be a clue, as Frederic Massara continues negotiations with Hellas.

Roma nearing agreement with Verona for Ghilardi
Roma is accelerating its transfer window and closing in on Daniele Ghilardi, a 2003-born central defender from Hellas Verona. Negotiations have entered the advanced stages, with an agreement likely to be reached for approximately €10 million plus €2 million in bonuses. The Giallorossi are determined to close as quickly as possible to bring another strategic addition to Trigoria ahead of the new season. Sporting director Frederic Massara, after extensive work on multiple fronts, is now focused on completing a first four-man incoming transfer, which will give a clear identity to Roma's new direction. Ghilardi's arrival would follow those already finalized for Ferguson, El Aynaoui, and Wesley, and would strengthen a defensive unit that is gaining size, physical strength, and versatility—key characteristics for Gian Piero Gasperini's style of play, reports Gazzetta dello Sport.
