The winds of change are blowing through Trigoria as Roma's working relationship with Frederic Massara remains unconfirmed, with the executive poised to depart. The Giallorossi aren't wasting any time, already scouting replacements to fill the void in their sporting department.

Giovanni Manna has emerged as a frontrunner, currently under contract with Napoli and drawing significant interest from the Friedkins and Gian Piero Gasperini. His reputation as a sharp operator in the transfer market makes him a compelling candidate for Roma's rebuild.

But the real headline, per Matteo Moretto, involves Massara's potential next move. The short-tenured Roma sporting director could be heading back to France, where he spent last season at Rennes. Marseille has added him to a very short list for their own sporting director role.

The French Riviera club is in transition after a recent change in presidency, actively seeking a new leader for their sporting department. Massara, with his Serie A and Ligue 1 experience, fits the bill as one of OM's most sought-after targets. For Roma, this means the clock is ticking to secure their next key executive while their current one eyes a return to French football.
