Paulo Dybala signed a contract extension with Roma two weeks ago, committing himself to the club until 2027 while accepting a significant pay cut. He lowered his salary demands from an eight million euros per season to around three million. Then there is Matías Soule, and not too long ago Roma fans would erupt into applause whenever Leandro Paredes threw himself into impossible challenges, even crashing into the advertising boards. Before them came Javier Pastore, Diego Perotti, Gabriel Heinze, Fernando Gago, Nicolas Burdisso—and that’s without even mentioning the early 2000s and players like Leandro Cufre, Walter Samuel, and Gabriel Batistuta.🚨 SANTIAGO CASTRO TO ROMA! 🇦🇷💛❤️AS Roma have agreed a deal with Bologna to sign forward Santiago Castro!💶 Fee: €35m + €2m add-ons📄 Details: Sell-on clause included🩺 Next steps: Medical booked ahead of signingBig attacking move for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side! ✍️⚽️ pic.twitter.com/kTIILcxclU— SPORTS ARENA⚽ (@SportsArena_1_) July 27, 2026 There is ..

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have been showing off for years by signing big names, while Besiktas watched enviously. Since winning the title in 2021, they have not come close to repeating that success, but this year they have decided to try to change that — and become a more competitive side. They have already brought in Alexander Nubel from Bayern Munich and Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard, but the biggest moves are yet to come. Besiktas have set their sights on two major stars, two free agents that many clubs would love to sign — Mohamed Salah and Dušan Vlahović.
