AS Roma is preparing for a potential transfer of Saël Kumbedi. Wolfsbourg has given Kumbedi permission to leave, which has led to strong competition across Europe.

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.
