Kumbulla's Roma future uncertain amid interest from Espanyol and Verona
Marash Kumbulla is set to return to Trigoria following a strong loan spell with Espanyol, but his future at Roma remains far from certain. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Spanish club is eager to make the defender's move permanent and has submitted a bid of €7 million. However, Roma have rejected the offer, as the fee would not generate a capital gain for the club—a key consideration under current financial constraints. Advertisement Meanwhile, Hellas Verona have also entered the race for his signature. Kumbulla spent over a decade with the Gialloblù, from youth level through to the senior team, before joining Roma in 2020. Now, Verona are eyeing a reunion, especially as they seek a replacement for Diego Coppola in central defense. While the possibility of returning 'home' to Verona is appealing, Kumbulla has not ruled out staying in Spain, where he enjoyed a resurgence last season with consistent performances. With his contract at Roma running until 2027, the coming weeks will be decisive in determining whether the Albanian international remains in the capital or moves on for the next chapter of his career.

Roma turn to Genoa's Vasquez as defensive reinforcement
Roma are on the look-out for an additional central defender. After Mats Hummels' retirement and the imminent departure of the likes of Marash Kumbulla and Mario Hermoso – who are unlikely to stay – Roma want to bring in a new centreback to Gasperini's orders. Advertisement According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the latest idea at Trigoria is that of Genoa defender Johan Vasquez. The Mexican international proved a pivotal presence in Genoa's backline this year, making 37 appearances for the Rossoblu with 3 goals to his name.

Another win and clean sheet for Espanyol eases La Liga relegation fears
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Espanyol beat Getafe 1-0 in La Liga to record a third straight victory and ease its relegation fears on Friday. On-loan center half Marash Kumbulla got the only goal near halftime. Any hopes of a Getafe comeback were scorched on the hour mark when Nigerian defender Christantus Uche was sent off for a bad tackle. The result came after recent wins away at Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo, and was the third clean sheet in a row for Manolo González's men. It lifted the Barcelona club three places into 12th spot. Getafe was a point and a place above it. ___ AP soccer:
