Roma is preparing to listen to offers for young Polish defender Jan Ziolkowski, as the club looks to balance its books before the end of the financial year.
The 2005-born centre-back has struggled for consistent playing time in his debut season in the Italian capital. Despite showing flashes of promise, including a crucial header against Panathinaikos that helped Roma bypass the Europa League playoffs and advance directly to the round of 16, manager Gian Piero Gasperini has not been fully convinced by the youngster's overall performances.
Ziolkowski has made 21 appearances across all competitions, but with Roma needing to comply with UEFA's settlement agreement and generate significant capital gains by June 30th, the club is now actively seeking a buyer for the former Legia Warsaw starlet.
According to reports from SiamoLaRoma.it, the Giallorossi have set a valuation of around €25 million for the Polish international. The strategy is clear: selling Ziolkowski would allow the club to avoid offloading one of its bigger-name stars to meet financial obligations.
Interest is reportedly brewing from abroad, with both an English Premier League club and a French Ligue 1 side monitoring the situation. The question now is whether those inquiries will develop into formal offers that match Roma's asking price.
For a defender who arrived with high expectations but has yet to fully establish himself, this summer could be a pivotal moment in his career—whether that means a fresh start elsewhere or a chance to prove his worth in Rome.
