Lecce drops Tresoldi as Roma remains the only suitor

Lecce has confirmed that Nicolò Tresoldi was only proposed to Roma, and is not a priority for the giallorossi. The club has not started any concrete negotiations, leaving the young striker out of the transfer plans for the upcoming season.

Why did Lecce rule out Tresoldi?

The sporting director explained that, despite Roma's interest, Tresoldi's proposal does not match Lecce's current tactical needs. The team is looking for a striker with Serie A experience, while Tresoldi is still developing. Moreover, a limited budget forces the club to consider cheaper options.

What is Lecce's market situation?

The latest result is a 1-0 win over Genoa on 24 May 2026, but the team remains in the relegation zone. With 10 wins, 8 draws and 20 losses, Lecce must improve to distance itself from the drop.

How does the decision affect the club's future?

Excluding Tresoldi means Lecce will have to rely on other talents or low‑cost signings. Coach Fabio Liverani has already indicated a desire to give more minutes to players like Federico Di Francesco and academy prospects. The lack of a high‑profile striker could make the battle against relegation tougher.

What to expect in the coming weeks?

The summer window is still open and Lecce may announce new arrivals by the end of August. Fans will have to wait for official statements to see if the club can strengthen the attack without breaching the spending limit. Meanwhile, the squad focuses on physical and tactical preparation for the next season.
