Overview
- Roma are in active talks to sign Nottingham Forest centre-back Morato on a loan-to-buy deal but have not yet reached club-to-club terms.
- Multiple reports say Morato has agreed personal terms with Roma on a reported 1+4 contract, while Forest wants stronger obligation triggers on any purchase clause.
- Jan Ziolkowski is close to a loan move to Monza with appearance-linked fees, but Roma will not authorise his departure until an incoming centre-back is secured.
- With the transfer window days from closing, negotiations are time-sensitive and Roma have opened alternative enquiries, including a loan request for Thilo Kehrer from Monaco.
- Loan-to-buy deals here mean short-term loans with an option that can become an obligation if conditions such as appearances or club targets are met, and the outcome will shape Roma's defensive depth and Ziolkowski's playing time next season.
