"The Serie A title has been historically dominated by the northern cities of Milan and Turin but Roma want to bring some balance to Italian football. Juventus have won the Scudetto 36 times, at least according to the record books, and Inter Milan and AC Milan share 39 titles between them. The capital clubs have combined for a total of five titles, fewer than Genoa, Torino, Bologna and Pro Vercelli. Lazio last won the league in 1999-2000. Roma toppled the Biancocelesti the following season."
"To borrow a barb from a player who has nine titles and played for all three of Italy's silver-laden titans, for quarter of a century the Scudetto has not been coming to Rome. Roma, level on points at the top of Serie A this season, are owned by the Friedkin Group. Club president Dan Friedkin has serious ambitions when it comes to putting the Italian capital back on the football map."
"According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Friedkin's ambitious plans include a new 60,000-capacity stadium away from the Stadio Olimpico and a shock transfer chase for former Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. Zirkzee is the top target, followed by Folarin Balogun of Monaco and Lucas Stassin of Saint-Etienne, reports the iconic sports daily via Football Italia.

Serie A has been historically dominated by Milan and Turin clubs, while Rome's clubs have won far fewer league titles.

Club president Dan Friedkin intends to elevate Roma with ambitious plans including a new 60,000-capacity stadium away from the Stadio Olimpico. Transfer targets reportedly include Joshua Zirkzee, followed by Folarin Balogun and Lucas Stassin. Zirkzee moved from Bologna to Manchester United in summer 2024 but has struggled for consistent impact despite occasional crucial contributions.
