Gasperini reaffirms: Mancini is not leaving Roma, he wants to stay.

Gian Piero Gasperini issues a firm and straightforward warning: Gianluca Mancini will not leave Roma for Inter, despite persistent reports suggesting interest from the Nerazzurri. Amid rumors swirling in the Italian market, the Italian coach categorically denies any possibility of a transfer for the central defender, sending a clear message to both the player and the fans.

“I’ve already told him, he’s not going anywhere,” Gasperini stated at an event in Bergamo, making it clear that Mancini wants to remain at the Italian capital club. This statement comes in response to speculation reported by Sky Sport Italia and other outlets, which indicated Inter’s interest in bolstering their defense with the experience of the 30-year-old player. Mancini is under contract until June 2027, and Roma is aware of the risk of losing him for free if they fail to renew.

However, Gasperini acknowledges that Roma will have to make some financial sacrifices to balance the books by the end of the season: “I would like to keep all the players, but there are financial balance requirements, so we will have to work to retain the best.” This message makes it clear that, despite the desire to maintain the core group, the club will have to be pragmatic in the market.

Among the possible departures is Paulo Dybala, whose contract expires on June 30. Despite this, the Argentine is willing to renew, even if it means a substantial pay cut. Regarding reinforcements, the name of Mason Greenwood, a winger from Olympique de Marseille, has been linked to Roma, but Gasperini prefers to remain cautious: “I don’t want to talk about players who are not in my squad.”

The coach emphasizes the importance of building a team stronger than the current one, but always based on the solid foundation that fought until the last minute of the season: “There is a solid core that we must preserve, introducing players who can elevate the level.” The message is clear: Gasperini wants stability and quality for the next season, and he is not willing to lose key players like Mancini. The battle for the future of Roma has already begun, and the coach is at the forefront defending his squad at all costs.
