Following Wolfsbourg's relegation to the second German division, AS Roma is monitoring 21-year-old French and DR Congolese defender Saël Kumbedi. The German club, which had previously paid nearly 9 million euros for the player who joined them in January 2026, is reportedly open to negotiations and is ready to allow him to leave. Roma has competition for the right-back, as their city rivals Lazio are also interested in him. FC Porto, Feyenoord Rotterdam, and an unidentified Ligue 1 club are also said to be among the interested clubs. Kumbedi has 7 caps for the France U21 team and a contract with Wolfsburg until June 2029. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €12.00m.
