Roma continues its journey post-Mourinho with a new season in Serie A, where they will be hoping to improve upon their 6th-placed finish in 2023-24. Based in the Italian capital, Roma has not won the Serie A title since 2000-01, with their last silverware coming in the UEFA Conference League in 2021-22. Roma has just learned this week that star player Paulo Dybala will remain with the club after gauging interest elsewhere, specifically from the Saudi Pro League. His commitment comes during Roma’s negotiations for Kevin Danso, an Austrian defender considered the top priority for their current manager. Dybala’s decision complicates the issue, given they only have so much budget to go around. Empoli are also in discussions regarding transfers, as they seek the help of Chelsea’s Tino Anjorin in their fight to avoid relegation. Last year’s Empoli finished 17th, just a point away from dropping down to Serie B.
