Reports from Friday indicate that Premier League clubs Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both keen on securing a summer transfer for Roma and Italy midfielder Niccolò Pisilli.
Potential Premier League Move for Pisilli
The 21-year-old player, recently included in Silvio Baldini’s Italy national squad for upcoming international friendlies in June, is starting to attract attention from significant Premier League investors.
Pisilli had to wait for his opportunities in Serie A during the 2025-26 season, but by the midpoint of the campaign, he had established himself as a first-team regular, featuring in 21 consecutive league matches by the season’s conclusion.
He also contributed a goal and two assists in Roma’s final four matches of the season, which were part of a five-game winning streak that propelled the Giallorossi into Champions League contention.
According to sources, Tottenham and Newcastle have now shown interest and could be preparing to make an offer this summer.
Friday’s report suggests that Pisilli is currently valued at approximately €35 million, a figure that would likely not pose a significant obstacle for clubs like Newcastle or Tottenham, given their financial capabilities.
As widely reported, Roma needs to generate up to €60 million in funds before the end of June to meet Financial Fair Play regulations.
