Jamie Leweling to Roma

This move fell through. Last report: Patrick Berger, 1 September 2026.

Earlier read, written at an earlier stage of this story: Roma are pushing hard to sign Jamie Leweling from VfB Stuttgart, with a revised offer of €30m plus €5m in bonuses now on the table after an earlier loan-plus-obligation proposal worth over €40m in total was rejected by the German club. Stuttgart are not selling cheaply: Leweling is contracted until 2029 and his market value sits at roughly €40m. Roma have offered him a deal through to 2031 and, according to the latest movement, have overtaken Luiz Henrique as their primary target for the wide attacking role. The story is well sourced. Gianluca Di Marzio, whose track record on Serie A business is strong, has reported at multiple stages throughout 31 August, including the confidence growing inside Roma's camp. Patrick Berger, a reliable voice on Bundesliga matters, confirmed both the rejected loan bid and the revised fixed-transfer offer. Alfredo Pedullà went further, claiming total agreement between the clubs. The wrinkle is that Di Marzio also reported, in the same window, that Leweling himself has not yet given Roma the green light. This is finely balanced. The clubs may be closing in on a fee, but the player's hesitation is a genuine obstacle. Stuttgart's 2029 contract gives them the leverage to wait. Everything hinges on Leweling saying yes. Roma have form spending in this range. They signed a player from Bologna for €35m and completed a deal with Juventus for €30m back in 2019, so the financial structure of this move is consistent with how they have operated before. Stuttgart, for their part, sold a player to Baye
