A good last season after a nightmare year at Espanyol, with a serious injury and a not-so-exciting experience at Sassuolo. Marash Kumbulla has returned to Roma and will train under Gian Piero Gasperini on Sunday, but his future remains a bit in doubt.
For now, he's staying – Let's be clear: no one is going to let the Albanian centre-back go, especially since the new coach of the Yellows has very few defenders at his disposal. This backline needs to be strengthened, of course, but there's also the question of who can still help: this is precisely the case of the former Verona player, who returned from a loan spell at Espanyol.
In Catalonia, Kumbulla found himself again, starting and playing a strong season, even scoring three goals in 35 games. The Spanish blue and whites would like to bring him back, but in Thursday's press conference, sporting director Garagarza was very clear: "Today, his return seems like an unexpected option, and then in two weeks, I don't know."
Offer – The sporting director then added a significant detail: “He is a defender we love, but there have been offers and I am not optimistic. I can assure you that we have not done anything for him.” Roma have had offers for Kumbulla, according to Garagarza. In fact, several La Liga clubs (and others) have made preliminary inquiries about the Albanian national team player. Request for information, but nothing more at the moment. Therefore, for now, Marashi will start the 2025-2026 season with Roma, then we will see. Maybe everything will change in two weeks…
