Roma Accelerate Transfer Drive After Signing Santiago Castro

Owners have pushed for faster activity so new recruits can join Giovanni Gasperini at the Vale Resort ahead of three preseason friendlies.

Overview

Club sources report a transfer-market meeting was held at Trigoria where ownership urged quicker business and sporting director D'Amico and the club vice-president took part.
Media coverage says Roma have agreed terms for Santiago Castro in a deal reported at about €35 million plus bonuses and a 10% resale clause, and fans greeted him at Termini.
Castro is expected to join Gasperini for the second phase of preseason training and the planned friendlies in Wales.
Roma’s immediate priority is to sign a right-footed left winger who can travel to the Vale Resort and be available for the friendlies against Cardiff, Newport and Brighton.
The ownership push follows earlier collapsed approaches for Greenwood and Summerville and could speed squad integration ahead of the season by giving Gasperini more time to work with new arrivals.
