Roma Accelerates Morato Transfer Amidst Ziolkowski’s Impending Departure
Roma is intensifying its efforts to secure Morato, a Brazilian defender born in 2001 and currently with Nottingham Forest. Tony D’Amico has identified Morato as a suitable replacement for Jan Ziolkowski, who is on the verge of departing for Monza in search of more consistent playing time.
With Ziolkowski’s move to Monza hotting up, coach Gasperini is keen to have an additional center-back at his disposal before granting approval for the transfer.
Recent developments indicate that Roma has made significant progress in negotiations for Morato. Reports suggest a preliminary agreement has already been established with the player, though a final arrangement with Nottingham Forest is still pending. The deal under consideration by D’Amico involves a loan with an option to buy.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, the total transfer value could reach approximately €15 million, with provisions for the option to transform into an obligation based on certain conditions. However, Nottingham Forest has yet to provide its final consent for the proposed deal.
Finalizing Morato’s transfer could also pave the way for Ziolkowski to join Monza. According to Corriere della Sera, discussions are ongoing regarding a loan agreement for the Polish defender, featuring a unique structure tied to his playing time. The fee Monza is to pay Roma will decrease based on the number of matches Ziolkowski participates in, allowing him to acquire valuable experience while Roma retains some control over his development.
Roma continues to work on Morato, the 2001-born Brazilian defender from Nottingham Forest, identified by Tony D’Amico as the replacement for Jan Ziolkowski, who is set to leave the capital for greater consistency.
The Pole is increasingly close to joining Monza, but before definitively authorizing his departure, Gasperini wants to have another center-back available.

This is why Roma has accelerated the move for Morato in the last few hours. A preliminary agreement has reportedly already been reached with the Brazilian, while a final agreement with Nottingham Forest remains to be reached. The deal D’Amico is working on is a loan with an option to buy.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the overall value could be around €15 million, with the option to become a contract obligation under certain conditions. Forest, however, has yet to give final approval to the structure proposed by Roma.
Once the Morato deal is finalized, Ziolkowski’s move to Monza could also be unblocked.
According to Corriere della Sera, a loan deal is being worked on for the Polish defender, with a specific formula tied to his appearances: the more the defender plays, the lower the fee Monza will have to pay Roma. This is a way to incentivize the youngster’s continued use and allow him to gain experience without losing control.
