It's not looking like it will be a smooth first season in charge for new Giallorossi coach Paulo Fonseca, with several key players leaving a side that finished sixth in Serie A last season. Spiritual leader Daniele De Rossi has left in acrimonious circumstances (just like director and fellow club legend Francesco Totti before him), with the midfielder completing a dream move to Boca Juniors, while Roma's best defender, Kostas Manolas, has joined rivals Napoli.
In addition, the riches on offer in China convinced the club's 2018-19 top scorer, Stephen El Shaarawy, to move to Shanghai Shenhua.
With defenders Luca Pellegrini and Ivan Marcano also departing, Fonseca initially focused on defensive reinforcements, with Leonardo Spinazzola (pictured) joining from Juventus and goalkeeper Pau Lopez leaving Real Betis to become the club’s new No.1. Young defender Gianluca Mancini – signed from Atalanta – has promise and Turkish centre-half Mert Cetin has joined.
The capital club did their best transfer work with short-term signings in the latter stages of the window with three loan captures from Premier League clubs - Chris Smalling (Man Utd), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Arsenal) and David Zappacosta (Chelsea) - while Nikola Kalinic also crossed over from Altetico Madrid for a season.
