What happened: Ahead of the opening of training camp at Trigoria on July 13, Roma have set their transfer priorities following a meeting between ownership, sporting director D'Amico and Gasperini. Alongside the pursuit of Greenwood and another wide option, the coach has flagged the need for added midfield depth. Remo Freuler, on his way out at Bologna and close to being released, has emerged as one of the primary targets.

Why it matters: Freuler would arrive as a no-fee signing with Serie A pedigree and international experience, fitting a strategy built around players suited to Gasperini's system rather than marquee names alone. The Swiss midfielder also knows the coach well from their time together at Atalanta, raising the prospect of a reunion in the capital. The move dovetails with Roma's wider summer balancing act of settlements, expiring contracts and squad reinforcement.

What to watch: Watch whether Bologna formalize Freuler's release and how quickly Roma move once camp opens July 13, with the wing and midfield additions framed as the window's central tasks.
