ESPN BR reported that Roma recently inquired about the conditions for signing Arroyo but did not advance in negotiations.

Roma considers Cruzeiro's 20-year-old winger Keny Arroyo a primary transfer target, as manager Gian Piero Gasperini wants to strengthen his forward line before the deadline. The Ecuadorian player has received significant interest from Europe following a notable season in Brazil, which has led Roma to make initial inquiries regarding a summer transfer. Arroyo, who joined Cruzeiro in September 2025, is under contract until the end of 2029. In the 2025/2026 domestic season, he has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 20 appearances, and he has 2 caps for Ecuador. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €10.00m.
