Dybala shines as Roma eye Summerville

Pre‑Season Spark from Dybala

Roma kicked off their summer with a dominating 6‑0 win against the Primavera squad, and Paulo Dybala stood out as the most encouraging figure for Gian Piero Gasperini. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Argentine reproduced the kind of moments that carried Roma through the final weeks of last season, delivering an assist and two goals. He arrived for pre‑season in strikingly good physical shape, suggesting a return to his best form.

Gasperini repeatedly stresses that a fully fit Dybala can be the difference maker for the squad, and the early signs suggest the fitness record will be on his side. The club’s medical staff reports no major concerns, leaving the manager optimistic about integrating him into the starting XI early. If Dybala can maintain this level, Roma could see a significant boost in attacking potency before the competitive season begins.

Dovbyk’s Return and Goalscoring Form

Artem Dovbyk appears to have put the tendon injury that required surgery behind him, marking a promising return for the striker. He netted twice in the intra‑squad match and could have added more, showcasing sharpness ahead of the campaign. With a potential sale linked to fund new signings, these weeks are critical for him to convince Gasperini he remains part of the plans.

Summerville Transfer Talks Progress

West Ham’s Dutch winger has accepted Roma’s contract offer, but the Giallorossi still need to meet the English club’s valuation to secure his transfer. TMW reports that Roma are prepared to negotiate for as long as necessary to bring Summerville to Gasperini, signalling the club’s intent to strengthen the wing sector. The ongoing talks suggest that a deal could be finalized once the financial terms are aligned.

What It Means for Roma’s Squad

The combined improvements from Dybala, Dovbyk and the prospective Summerville addition give Roma a solid foundation entering the new season. A fit Dybala adds creativity and goal threat, while Dovbyk’s return provides proven finishing power. Securing Summerville would give the squad depth on the flank, allowing Gasperini greater flexibility in his attacking strategies. Together, these developments position Roma as a team to watch for surprise runs in Serie A.
