Roma Sporting Director Dismisses Jadon Sancho Transfer Rumors

According to Roma's sporting director Frederic Massara, the club has no plans to sign Jadon Sancho, despite the player being linked to several top Italian teams. Massara stated that the "conditions, and especially the motivation, are not there to move forward with this negotiation."

Massara also addressed the uncertain future of Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, whose contract is set to expire. Massara revealed that upon his arrival, he had shared his intention not to renew Pellegrini's contract with the player and his agent. "We want to avoid losing the player for free, also because of Lorenzo's own desire, we're checking to see if there are any opportunities for him," Massara said.

Looking ahead, Massara expressed confidence in new manager Gian Piero Gasperini's ability to develop Roma's young squad. "Gasperini's arrival is aimed at creating value and competitiveness. The manager is extraordinary; he's achieved unforgettable things in his previous roles, and we're confident he can repeat them in Rome with a team of players to build on, primarily young players," Massara stated.
