Roma have their sights set on a star signing to reinforce their offensive line, and all indications are that Gianluca Scamacca is about to join as the new striker of the "giallorossi" team. After a hectic transfer window in which top quality players have arrived at no cost, the team managed by Jose Mourinho is still looking to strengthen its squad, and Scamacca could be the key piece to boost its attack.

The exciting Derby della Madonnina between Inter and AC Milan, who staged a historic clash in the semi-finals of the last Champions League, will take place on the fourth matchday of the league on September 16, and will be repeated on matchday 33 on April 20. These will be two eagerly awaited and highly anticipated fixtures in the season's calendar.
Undoubtedly, another eagerly awaited clash will be between Juventus and Napoli. The first meeting will take place in Turin on December 10, while the second will be played in Napoli on March 3.

A year ago, the Nerazzurri had the possibility of signing Dybala, but made the decision to go for Lukaku. However, the relationship with the Belgian striker has ended in the worst way both on and off the field. CEO Marotta, who previously brought Dybala to Juventus, has tried again to sign him these days.

Roma will return to Serie A action next Sunday, August 20, when they host Salernitana, the team in which Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa plays, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on matchday 1 of the Italian top flight. 

On Saturday afternoon, Roma achieved a resounding 4-0 victory over Estrela Amadora of Portugal, as part of their pre-season friendlies. The Cordovan (possibly Paulo Dybala) opened the scoring for La Loba after 42 minutes of the first half. Just two minutes later, the second goal arrived, thanks to an excellent combination between Dybala, El Shaarawy and Houssem Aouar, which left the latter one-on-one in front of goal, making it 2-0 after 44 minutes. Finally, the Cordovan left the field at 71', but the show of La Loba continued. Diego Llorente and Edoardo Bove scored just minutes after Dybala went to the bench and Jose Mourinho's side ran out 4-0 winners.

The wait is over, the actions of one of the most beautiful sports in the world are back with 90 minutes of emotions where Farense and Roma will play a friendly match corresponding to the preseason of both teams where they will play the last preparation match before the start of the European competitions and the beginning of the adventure called 2023/2024.

For this match, the player to watch will be the team's attacking midfielder; Paulo Dybala. The current Roma midfielder has played a key role in the victories obtained in the last season, helping to retain possession of the ball and having a great ability to distribute it in the opponent's field, also, his great right foot is a latent danger for all goalkeepers so he will be important to get the victory.

R. Patricio; Ibanez, C. Smalling, G. Mancini; L. Spinazzola, N.Matic, B. Cristante, M. Celik; L. Pellegrini, P. Dybala; T. Abraham.

For this match, the player to watch will be the iconic center forward, Rui Costa. The Portuguese striker is always a latent danger in the box, whether or not he has the ball under his control, so opposing defenses should always be on their guard as Rui Costa knows how to slip through defensive lines to get unmarked and score a goal for Farense.

R. Velho; T. Oliveira, Z. Muscat, G. Silva, F. Delgado; C. Falcao, F. Isidoro; Elves, Mattheus, M. Matias; R. Costa.

Farense and Roma have never met at any time or any official/friendly tournament, so this will be the first time the two sides will meet face to face on the pitch. This factor adds a little more spice to the match as both teams will be looking to take the win as it will be the first meeting.

The São Luís Stadium, also known as Estádio Municipal de São Luís, is a soccer stadium located in Faro, a city in southern Portugal. It is home to Sporting Clube Farense, a Portuguese soccer club with a long history. The stadium has an approximate capacity of around 12,000 spectators. Although it is not a very large stadium compared to some of the larger stadiums in Portugal and Europe, it has been an important venue for Sporting Clube Farense and its supporters. The São Luís Stadium was inaugurated in 1922 and has been the home of Sporting Clube Farense for almost its entire history. The club has experienced different eras and has competed in several divisions of Portuguese soccer.

On the other hand, Roma will seek to obtain the crown desired in the last campaign, when the Wolves maintained an impressive rhythm and level that allowed them to be at the top of Serie A, leaving behind rivals such as Juventus and Fiorentina, who could only fight for the qualification to the UEFA Conference League, however, mistakes in the final stretch of the tournament ended up weighing on the Italian squad that saw how the title was left in the hands of Napoli. Now, they will seek to dominate Italy and Europe in the UEFA Champions League.

The Farense team will be looking to be important in this new season in the Portuguese Primeira Liga after having achieved promotion to the top Portuguese soccer circuit in a totally extraordinary season for the team as their second place obtained in the 22/23 campaign allowed them to get the qualifying ticket to the big leagues. Farense scored a total of 69 points, 10 points less than last season's super leader, won a total of 21 games, drew 6 times and lost in 7 games, and had 57 goals for and 34 against, leaving them with a goal difference of 23, being one of the most solid defenses in the championship. Now, in this match against Roma they will be able to test themselves to see if they are up to the level of the first division.

Little by little the days continue to advance and that means that the arrival of the 23/24 season is getting closer and closer for the teams to undertake a new adventure in their respective leagues and achieve the desired objectives, whether it is to fight for the league title, enter European competitions, avoid relegation or win their respective cups, which means starting to plan what will be 10 months of actions and emotions where goals and controversies will not be lacking in the most beautiful sport in the world. In this match, Farense vs Roma will face each other, both clubs are looking for continuity in their preseasons to arrive in the best possible shape for the start of their leagues and sweep all before them to be in the top positions of their respective general tables.
