Belgium international Diego Moreira has given the green light for a move to AS Roma, bringing the Serie A club to the brink of securing the RC Strasbourg Alsace winger’s signature.
The 21-year-old has approved a transfer to the Italian capital following Belgium’s exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with negotiations now entering their final stages. Reports indicate that AS Roma had readied a €30 million bid for the versatile forward, and a new meeting has been scheduled between all parties to complete the agreement.
Player consent clears path
Securing Moreira’s approval represents a significant breakthrough for Roma. Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported earlier this month that the Giallorossi were preparing a €30m offer, and journalist Sacha Tavolieri has now confirmed that the player has signalled his willingness to join the Serie A side.
Moreira has spent the past two seasons with Strasbourg, establishing himself as a key figure in the French club’s attack. The Belgium international has demonstrated consistent form during his time in Alsace, attracting interest from several top European clubs.
Summer of change at Strasbourg
Moreira’s exit would form part of a broader restructuring at Strasbourg. Club captain Emanuel Emegha has already departed, whilst defenders Valentin Barco and Guéla Doué are also linked with moves away from the Stade de la Meinau.
This turnover signals a new chapter for the French side, which is braced for further outgoings as the transfer window progresses. The winger’s potential move to Italy represents the highest-profile departure of the window so far, highlighting the club’s strategy of monetising its developed talent.
Deal close to completion
With personal terms apparently settled and the player’s commitment secured, focus now shifts to finalising the transfer fee and structure. The scheduled meeting between Strasbourg officials, Roma representatives and the player’s camp is expected to iron out remaining details.
The transfer, once completed, would see Moreira swap Ligue 1 for Serie A, adding pace and creativity to Roma’s offensive options. At 21, the winger represents both immediate quality and long-term investment for the Italian club as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.
