In a significant shake-up of Roma’s goalkeeping lineup, Matthew Ryan is set to depart the Italian club, marking the end of his tenure as he prepares for a move to French side Lens.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the transfer progression, stating, “Matthew Ryan is ready to move to Lens where he is certain to join the squad.”
Ryan’s departure leaves a vacancy behind the current Roma first-choice goalkeeper, Svilar.
In a swift move to fill this gap, Roma are negotiating with Atalanta to secure Pierluigi Gollini.
“An agreement with Atalanta for Gollini is almost finalised,” Romano adds, highlighting the club’s proactive measures in strengthening their goalkeeper options.
This change signals a busy period for Roma in the transfer market as they aim to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
