Door shut on Raoul Bellanova

AS Roma asked and Atalanta said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Manu Koné stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Manu Koné and AS Roma agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The paperwork begins on Manuel Tucker

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. AS Roma have done the hard part with Platense, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A falling-out at AS Roma

Matías Soulé and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

No hiding place for Manu Koné

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Manu Koné, and the manager let it.

A row about effort at AS Roma

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mario Hermoso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Too much change too quickly at AS Roma

9 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

AS Roma ask about Riyad Idrissi

A loan enquiry to Cagliari: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Mile Svilar asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

AS Roma rebuffed over Vinícius Júnior

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Real Madrid have kept their man, and AS Roma go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Willian gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Willian has just signed for AS Roma, and for once the answer mattered.

Evan N'Dicka wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at AS Roma hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Paulo Dybala wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Paulo Dybala signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Paulo Dybala commits to AS Roma for another 2 years.

Words exchanged at AS Roma

Matías Soulé and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

A row about effort at AS Roma

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Santiago Castro was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Manu Koné knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Manu Koné trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Nobody at AS Roma has picked up the phone to Gianluca Mancini

36 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
