Roma Eyes Brighton’s Yasin Ayari to Bolster Midfield Options
Roma is actively seeking to enhance its midfield by turning to the Premier League for potential reinforcements. The latest player attracting the attention of sporting director Tony D’Amico is Yasin Ayari, a talented midfielder born in 2003 and currently with Brighton & Hove Albion. Borussia Dortmund has also shown interest in the young Swedish talent, according to reports from German outlet fussballdaten.de.
Ayari is tied to Brighton with a contract that runs until June 30, 2027, making his future a topic of considerable interest as several clubs begin to circle. While Roma and Dortmund pursue Ayari, they are taking different approaches. Dortmund has already made initial contact with the player’s representatives. Meanwhile, D’Amico is reaching out directly to Brighton to discuss a potential deal and is preparing an offer aimed at initiating negotiations.
Roma’s strategy involves proposing a loan deal with an option to buy. However, Brighton’s stance does not currently align with this approach, as the English club prefers to secure a permanent transfer. The financial aspect remains a significant hurdle, with Brighton reportedly valuing Ayari between €45 million and €50 million. As negotiations progress, there remains a considerable gap between Roma’s intended terms and Brighton’s demands, all while Dortmund stays in the mix as a potential competitor.
Roma are also looking to the Premier League to strengthen their midfield.
The latest name on Tony D’Amico’s radar is Yasin Ayari, a 2003-born player from Brighton, who Borussia Dortmund have also been interested in.

The news comes from Germany, specifically from the portal fussballdaten.de.
The Swedish midfielder has a contract with the English club until June 30, 2027, and with his expiration date rapidly approaching, his future has become a subject of interest for several clubs.
Roma and Dortmund are moving on two different fronts. The Germans have initiated initial contact with Ayari’s entourage, while D’Amico has chosen to speak directly with Brighton and is preparing a proposal to try to open negotiations.
The Giallorossi’s idea is to base the deal on a loan with an option to buy. This formula, at least for now, doesn’t align with Brighton’s plans: the English club would prefer a permanent transfer. And the valuation is important.

Brighton is asking between €45 and €50 million to let Ayari leave. The gap between Roma’s envisioned terms and those requested by the English club remains wide, while Borussia Dortmund continues to linger in the background.
