The home side did not take long to open the deadlock, with a mistimed header at the back setting Matias Soule through on goal after 14 minutes, and he made no mistake with a curling finish beyond Daniele Sommariva. Roma scored a second just five minutes later, as Manu Kone burst from midfield and found the net with a side-footed effort, after fine play by Evan Ferguson in the build-up.
Starting with the hosts, eventually falling short last season as they missed out on the chance to book a top-half finish among Italy's elite, Torino are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Last seen putting in what was a sensational performance as they clinched a 1-0 victory at home against reigning Serie A champions Napoli, Marco Baroni's men will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.
Starting with the hosts, extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a routine 3-1 victory at home against Empoli, Genoa will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Patrick Vieira's men have once again failed to find any kind of fluidity since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Last seen falling to a 2-1 defeat away at Bologna, the former Crystal Palace boss has not seen his squad muster a single win from their first four Serie A appearances (two defeats, two draws).
Plenty of factors go into determining a transfer fee: wages, length of contract, age, position, whether a club has a need to acquire a player or has a need to offload, what the budget is, and how far along the player is in his development. Galleni says there's a premium for upside: an exceedingly athletic player might be able to improve technically and therefore be worth the investment. (The opposite -- a very technically gifted player who becomes a better athlete -- is far rarer.)
