In an exclusive development, it has been confirmed that Roma and Hellas Verona have reached an agreement for the transfer of Daniele Ghilardi. The deal is valued at €10.5 million, with an additional €1 million in performance-related bonuses.

Ghilardi: A Key Addition to Roma`s Defense Under Gasperini
Negotiations for the young defender had been ongoing for several weeks, with initial offers starting at €9 million. Hellas Verona`s hesitation was partly due to a 50% sell-on clause owed to Fiorentina, Ghilardi`s former club, as part of his €380,000 transfer to Verona in 2022.
Before establishing himself in Serie A last season, Ghilardi gained valuable experience through loan spells at Mantova and Sampdoria. His performances have caught the eye of Roma`s management, who view him as an ideal fit for Gian Piero Gasperini`s three-man defensive system.
This transfer marks a significant step in Roma`s preparations for the upcoming season, as they look to strengthen their squad under new management.
