According to today`s edition of Il Romanista newspaper, the headline is `La Roma prima di tutto` (Roma First). The article includes a reference to a 1935 interview with Antonio Scialoja, who recounted founding the city`s first team, Foot Ball Club Roma, in 1895 and playing for them. Scialoja would later become president of AS Roma.
The report also focuses on Roma`s current situation and the transfer market. A `pact` is said to exist between coach Gasperini and sporting director Massara as they plan for the upcoming season. Gasperini is following Massara`s actions confidently from his vacation, and the two remain in daily contact. The first new signings are expected in early July, with the coach having indicated the need for five starting-level players.
In other news, Roma has sold Leandro Paredes to Boca Juniors. The Argentine club paid €3.5 million for the player`s release clause, a transfer confirmed by the Boca president. Sporting director Massara now has two days to ensure the club meets Financial Fair Play requirements.
