Following previous interest from Inter, Porto made an offer of 25 million euros for 21-year-old Italian midfielder Nicolò Pisilli, but Roma rejected the bid. This rejection is in line with the policy of the club's owners, the Friedkin Group, to retain their most promising young players, who are viewed as central to the team's future. This policy is also demonstrated by Roma's recent rejection of interest from Juventus for Mile Svilar. Pisilli has four caps for Italy and is under contract with Roma until June 2029. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 25 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. His current market value is €30.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Reports from May 2026 valued the player at €35 million, and a bid of €20 million from Tottenham was reportedly rejected in January 2026.
