Overview
- Multiple outlets report the two clubs are in advanced talks for a loan but no medical, official announcement, or signed paperwork has been published.
- Roma would keep Kumbulla under contract through June 2028, using a loan to reduce near-term squad and wage pressure while retaining future options.
- Kumbulla is 26 and arrives with recent La Liga experience from loan spells at Espanyol and Mallorca, and he has struggled for continuity after a serious knee injury in April 2023.
- Coverage does not confirm whether the loan will include a purchase option or obligation and it has not reported how the player’s salary would be divided between the clubs.
- Transfermarkt listed Kumbulla’s market value at about €3 million in June 2026, providing context for the deal’s likely economic scale and Roma’s decision to pursue another temporary move.
