Marash Kumbulla's future seems increasingly distant from Roma. The Albanian national team defender is expected to return to the Italian capital in July, after the end of his loan at Mallorca, but signals from the Verdun club indicate that he is not part of the long-term plans for next season.
Roma are working in parallel to strengthen the squad and settle players who are not considered part of the technical project. This list also includes Kumbulla, who after a difficult period in Spain is looking for a new opportunity to relaunch his career.
His experience at Mallorca did not result as expected. Frequent injuries significantly affected the activation of the Albanian defender, preventing him from finding continuity and displaying the potential he had previously shown in Serie A. However, his contract with Roma remains in force until 2028, which gives the Italian club full control over the future of the footballer.
Torino turns its attention back to Kumbulla
According to reports from Italian media and the "OneFootball" platform, Torino have renewed their interest in the Albanian center-back. The Granata club aims to strengthen its defensive department for the new season and considers Kumbulla a suitable profile for its objectives.
An important role in this track could be played by Torino's new sporting director, Gianluca Petrachi. The former Roma manager knows the Albanian defender well, having closely followed his development over the years in the Italian capital.
This knowledge of Kumbulla's technical characteristics and potential could facilitate the start of negotiations between the clubs in the coming weeks. On the other hand, the footballer himself has expressed his desire to learn his future destination as soon as possible.
Kumbulla has not hidden his admiration for current Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini, emphasizing that he would like to work with the Italian coach, known for his ability to develop and enhance defenders.
Open market for the red and black defender
At the moment there are no advanced negotiations between the parties, but Turin's interest is considered concrete and the situation is expected to develop over the coming weeks.
After a difficult period accompanied by injuries, Kumbulla is looking for a new chapter that can return him to the levels that made him one of the most promising defenders in Italian football.
The summer transfer window has just begun, but his name is expected to be among the most talked about among Serie A clubs. Torino seems ready to try again for the Albanian's services, while Roma remains awaiting offers that will finally determine the future of the red and black defender.
If the transfer goes through, Kumbulla will also find his national team teammate, Ardian Ismajli, in Turin, who has become one of the key players of the Granata team after his transfer.
