Roma's D'Amico eyes Endrick and Mastantuono in Madrid talks

In a series of meetings held in Madrid, AS Roma's sporting director Tony D'Amico received encouraging feedback on two high-profile prospects. The Brazilian forward Endrick, currently on Real Madrid's books, is regarded as the most attractive option, with the club envisioning him sharing attacking duties with Paulo Dybala. Should Matías Soulé exit the Trigoria side, Roma plans to intensify its pursuit of Endrick, aiming for a deal that goes beyond a simple loan and mirrors the complex "Nico Paz" model used in other international transfers. At the same time, the Argentine teenager Franco Mastantuono, also a Real Madrid youth product, remains on Roma's radar, but Fiorentina currently holds the advantage by being willing to accept a loan, a stance pushed by their sporting director Fabio Paratici.
