Neil El Aynaoui remains on the list of players who could leave the capital in the final days of the transfer window.
The Moroccan midfielder isn't Gasperini's first choice, with Koné and Cristante starting in midfield with Pisilli as the first substitution.
Against Fiorentina, the manager changed his mind at the last minute and brought on the former Lens player alongside the Giallorossi number 61, who, however, had a different impact on the match, also scoring the 4-0 goal.
At the moment, no concrete offers have been received for El Aynaoui at Trigoria.
Crystal Palace have made an exploratory inquiry without taking any further action. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is not interested in the player. This situation is also linked to the Kessié affair.

For the match against Fiorentina the only certain change on the right is Molina, who immediately becomes the new master of the right flank.
On the other side, reports Il Messaggero, **** e will be given to Wesley, who has overcome a slight sprain in his right ankle.
Gasperini's big doubt is the attacking midfielder. A spot for three. Cristante could slot in between Soulé and Mora, having already played in that position several times last season in the 3-4-1-2 formation, with excellent results. With Bryan up front, one between El Aynaoui and Pisilli will accompany Koné in midfield.
With Cristante further back, the toss-up will be between Soulé and Mora. Rodrigo, who arrived on Monday evening and is eager to conquer the world. There are still a few more hours to clear up any remaining doubts.

Borussia Dortmund warmed up for next weekend's Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup against Bayern Munich with a 2-2 home friendly draw with Roma on Saturday.
After the new Dortmund squad was presented to fans before kick-off, those in the almost sold-out stadium were treated to an open match with plenty of chances at both ends.
The game began with two early blows for Dortmund. Argentinian Paulo Dybala gave the Italians an early lead with a left-footed shot from close range. A short time later, Bryan Cristante made it 2-0 with a header from a corner.
Julian Ryerson's goal in the 12th minute and Serhou Guirassy's strike in the 28th then made it 2-2 for the home side.
Dortmund's first competitive test of the new season awaits next Saturday. The Black and Yellows, Bundesliga runners-up last term, host double winners Bayern in the Super Cup.

Roma surged into an early 2-0 lead away to Borussia Dortmund with Paulo Dybala and Bryan Cristante, but were pegged back 2-2 and Nahuel Molina made his debut.
The summer had been largely dismal, including heavy defeats to Cardiff City and Brighton, so Gian Piero Gasperini wanted to see a very different attitude in their last test.
Wesley was injured and new signing Nahuel Molina on the bench, but otherwise it was a strong starting XI in Dortmund. The hosts started Italy internationals Luca Reggiani and Samuele Inacio.

It took only a handful of minutes for Roma to take the lead at Signal Iduna Park, as an initial cross from the right was charged down, allowing Dybala to drill home the rebound from a tricky angle.

Borussia Dortmund held to a 2-2 draw at home against AS Roma on Saturday. All four goals were scored inside the first half-hour as Niko Kovac's side came from a two-goal deficit to avoid defeat in front of home fans at Signal Iduna Park (Westfalenstadion).
Paulo Dybala put the visitors ahead before **** isting Bryan Cristante's goal from a corner-kick delivery in the 9th minute. On his first appearance back from an injury he suffered at the World Cup, Julian Ryerson did the same in the next 20 minutes.
The Norwegian scored from close range after fellow World Cup participant Daniel Svensson's cutback in the 12th minute. Serhou Guirassy equalized for Dortmund from Ryerson's typical set-piece delivery.
The hosts had the best chances for the rest of the game, but they were unable to find a winning goal. Konstantinos Karetsas, Joane Gadou, Justin Lerma, Kauã Prates and Takato Yamamoto all made their home debuts as Dortmund introduced the new players to the fans before kickoff.
While FC Bayern will play against Heidenheim in midweek, Dortmund's next game will be against the Rekordmeister in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

Roma have been busy on and off the pitch, confirming Marash **** bulla's departure and tying down Lorenzo Pellegrini to a new contract, while Bryan Cristante moved to defuse talk of a training-camp bust-up with Paulo Dybala.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, **** bulla's exit is now official: the defender joins Rayo Vallecano on a loan with an option to buy, returning to LaLiga after previous spells with Espanyol and Mallorca.
He leaves having made 68 appearances across four seasons and played his part in Roma's 2022 Conference League triumph.

The bigger boost for Gian Piero Gasperini concerns Pellegrini. The club captain has signed a contract extension until 2027 after recovering from injury, with only the official announcement outstanding, expected in the coming hours.

Roma won the friendly match at Trigoria against Trastevere 6-0.
After the match, Bryan Cristante spoke to the media: "We're working well, we already know the coach's concepts, we're providing consistency, we're working hard."
"New faces? Someone will arrive, the club will take care of that."
Cristante awaits Pellegrini's return to the team: "Yes, I've spoken to him, we're waiting for him with open arms: we hope he returns to the team as soon as possible."
Cristante hasn't set any goals for next season: "It's time to build consistency. We want to grow and have a great season like last year. This year, there's also the Champions League, which will clearly make the initial phase tougher. We want to have a good season; setting goals now is difficult."

Roma have secured the long-term future of both Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini.
The two Giallorossi captains are set to stay in the Italian capital after weeks of discussions regarding their new contracts.
As confirmed by Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo, Roma and the players' agent, Giuseppe Riso, have completed the agreement to extend both players' contracts.
The matter is now closed, whereas there is still a need to further discuss Lorenzo Pellegrini's deal – the midfielder, in fact, is still a free agent after his contract ended on June 30th.

Who said you're born a Roman? For more information, call Bryan Cristante (assuming you have his home address) at the door.
He's 31, having spent the last eight years in the capital running up and down the pitch in the Giallorossi jersey.
Born in Friuli and raised in Milan, the Roma midfielder has absorbed the Eternal City's customs and traditions.
And a few typical expressions. "I confess: 'mortaci tua' has become a catchphrase. It comes out on so many occasions, I can't help it. Now I'm on automatic," he charmingly explains in a long interview with Sportweek for 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.
"The key moments of my career? The two Cup finals, for sure: the first, the Conference Cup, which we won against Feyenoord, but also the other, the Europa League, which we lost on penalties to Sevilla. Then, without going too far back in time, I'll tell you about the last matchday of this season in Verona, where we secured our return to the Champions League, an event that everyone—club, players, and fans—had been missing for far too long."

Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante are set to sign lifetime contract extensions with Roma.
Both players are considered by Gian Piero Gasperini to be crucial to his coaching project, following their third-place finish and Champions League qualification in his first year as Roma coach.
The contract extensions for Gasperini’s two loyalists seemed a done deal, but after the heavy defeat against Inter (5-2), the Giallorossi decided to put the deal on hold.
Now, Mancini and Cristante are close to renewing their respective contracts until 2030.
Tony D’Amico has recently resumed discussions with the players to extend, with the necessary adjustments, their agreements with Roma.
