Matias Soule's Rejuvenation at AS Roma

After a big money move in the summer of 2024 from the north of Italy to the South, it took its time. But Roma at the start of the 2025/26 season under Gian Piero Gasperini are reaping the rewards and the benefits.  Signed in the summer of 2024 for initial €25.6m rising up to €29m in bonuses from Juventus, at the time it was to play under Daniele De Rossi. Soule would link up with Paulo Dybala in a 4-3-2-1 set up to play behind another arrival in Artem Dovbyk; however, Daniele De Rossi would be fired after four games after a dramatic injury time equaliser from now-AC Milan defender Koni De Winter, leaving Roma winless after four games. 

Ivan Juric would come into be AS Roma coach and try to stop the bleeding and do a fire-fighting stopgap role. Ivan Juric would come in and would be sacked after a 3-2 home defeat to Bologna. Juric lasted just twelve games in all competitions, Claudio Ranieri would come in and finally steady the ship at AS Roma. 

For Soule it would been chaotic, after a wonderful loan spell at Frosinone where the club got relegated dramatically on the final day of the season at home to Udinese. Soule stood out with eleven goals and three assists in thirty-six Serie A appearances for Eusebio Di Francesco's side, but now at AS Roma, he would struggle as did a lot of the players did in the opening months of the season.
