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.

The reasons behind Ghisolfi's possible farewell
After a long transition period, Roma could lose two key figures from its current management. Lawyer Lorenzo Vitali, interim CEO after Souloukou's exit, and Florent Ghisolfi, the club's sporting director, are both said to be at risk. Advertisement Ghisolfi's position is particularly delicate. According to Il Messaggero, the Friedkin ownership did not appreciate the way the negotiations for the renewal of Mile Svilar were handled, which was resolved only thanks to the intervention of Claudio Ranieri. Furthermore, the failed transfer of Angeliño to Al Hilal, which seemed to be finalized, has also earned him a lot of criticism. Faced with these uncertainties, Frederic Massara has been linked as Ghisolfi's replacement – Massara previously worked at Trigoria during the Pallotta era and recently concluded a short-lived chapter at Stade Rennais.
