Rome, July 19, 2025 – AS Roma are nearing an agreement to sign Brighton striker Evan Ferguson on loan, with negotiations progressing well between the two clubs.
The Serie A side have stepped up their pursuit of the highly rated Republic of Ireland international, and sources suggest a loan move — for a substantial fee — is now the most likely outcome. While the exact structure of the deal is still being finalised, both parties are optimistic that an agreement can be reached in the coming days.
Ferguson, 20, has long been viewed as one of the Premier League’s brightest young forwards, showcasing his physicality, intelligent movement, and sharp finishing during his time at Brighton. However, after limited opportunities last season, the Seagulls are open to allowing him to gain further experience abroad.
Roma see Ferguson as a key addition to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign, particularly with manager Daniele De Rossi keen to add more power and presence to his forward line.
Whether a purchase option will be included in the deal remains to be seen, but discussions are ongoing and progressing positively.
If completed, the move would mark another significant investment by Roma as they aim to return to the Champions League and push for silverware both domestically and in Europe.
