Newcastle Target Matias Soulé as Roma Seek Two Late Winger Deals
AS Roma are pushing to sell Argentine forward Matias Soulé before the transfer window closes on August 31, 2026. Moving the player off the roster is the primary requirement for head coach Gian Piero Gasperini to bring in up to two new wingers.
Soulé features as an attacking winger who moves inward from wide positions. He joined the Italian club after an impressive spell with Frosinone, playing mostly on the right side of the attack.
