Friday 26th August

Roma’s pursuit of Mady Camara has accelerated quickly. Now, according to Nicolo Schira, he is ready to join on loan for €1.5m with an option to buy for a further investment.

As he reported earlier, there is an agreement over his contract, which would last until 2027.

Belotti ready for medica

Friday 26th August

The Andrea Belotti saga is almost finally over. According to various sources, he is due to take a medical with Roma over the weekend.

Corriere Dello Sport have said it will not be in time for the game against Juventus on Saturday, although his medical may be scheduled before then. Due to a summer without a squad, Belotti is estimated to be two weeks of intense training away from a debut.

Il Tempo have written that Belotti could arrive in Rome today, but his medical is likely to be tomorrow, per Tuttomercatoweb – who add that he should sign his contract on Sunday.

Camara chosen in midfield pursuit

Friday 26th August

It looks as if Roma have settled on the midfielder they will be signing to cover for Gini Wijnaldum.

Sky Sport reported yesterday that the new favourite to join is Olympiacos’ Mady Camara.

It has since been updated by Corriere Dello Sport that Camara is close to joining Roma, whose decision has been made.

What’s more, Nicolo Schira claims his agent has agreed the personal terms of Camara’s contract.

Belotti agent at Trigoria

Thursday 25th August

Andrea Belotti’s move to Roma is back on track, with Felix Afena-Gyan getting closer to Cremonese.

According to Sky Sport, Belotti’s agent has been at Trigoria to discuss the final terms of Belotti’s contract with Roma.

After rejecting various other clubs, the Italy international should sign a three-year deal with Roma.

Wijnaldum injury prompts plethora of midfield links

Wednesday 24th August

Recently, it was confirmed that Georginio Wijnaldum has suffered a broken leg and could miss the rest of 2022 for Roma.

Naturally, the team will need a reinforcement to replace him in midfield, where they would otherwise only have three players competing for two roles.

Various names have been linked – or regurgitated – such as Florian Grillitsch, Allan and Harry Winks. But one of the most concrete candidates is Denis Zakaria.

He was a target for Roma throughout last season before joining Juventus in January. Now, though, ReteSport have reported that La Magica have asked for him on loan – and it could be accepted so Juve can make room for Leandro Paredes, who coincidentally has also been linked with a return to Rome.

Calciomercato are also predicting that Roma will go all in on their pursuit of Zakaria.

Another interesting suggestion to have emerged via a few sources is Radja Nainggolan. Currently back in Belgium with Royal Antwerp, could he return for a second spell with the club?
