Reports: Roma Intensifies Leweling Pursuit
After some friendly back and forth, it seems like Roma is poised to land the German winger.
MUNICH, GERMANY - 2026/08/28: Roma's pursuit of attacking talent has intensified as they look to bolster their roster with a left-winger to pair with their existing midfield stars. After a strong start to the season with four opening matches, Gian Piero Gasperini may need fresh legs in the final third as there are still over 40 games left in the season.
The focus has narrowed down to two potential signings: Chelsea's youth product Jamie Gittens and Stuttgart's versatile attacker Jamie Leweling. Gittens was previously mentioned as a speculative loan option, but Roma seems to have settled on Leweling, who has demonstrated his versatility by playing at multiple positions for Stuttgart over the past three years.
While a €35 million deal was initially reported, Leweling reportedly required additional persuasion to join Roma. However, with the deadline approaching, he has reportedly agreed to a contract extension until 2031, which could see him joining Roma's ranks.
