AS Roma target Chelsea academy graduate Tyrique George
AS Roma are preparing to make a move for Chelsea academy graduate Tyrique George as part of their plans to reinforce their attacking options before the transfer window closes. The Italian side has been actively exploring ways to bolster their wing positions, and George has emerged as a promising candidate to fill the role. The 19-year-old winger has shown flashes of potential both at club and international level, attracting attention beyond Stamford Bridge.
Roma’s sporting director Frederic Massara recently confirmed that the club has cooled its interest in Jadon Sancho. Despite being linked for several weeks, the deal fell through due to what Massara described as a lack of motivation from the Manchester United forward to complete the move. This change in stance has shifted Roma’s focus firmly toward younger talents who are eager to prove themselves, with George becoming the prime target.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions are underway for Roma to secure the Chelsea youngster either on loan or a permanent deal. George has already gained valuable experience with the Blues, making 26 appearances, scoring three goals, and providing five assists. His ability to operate effectively on the left wing, combined with his pace and creativity, makes him an attractive option for the Serie A giants. At international level, he has also represented England U21s on 12 occasions, finding the back of the net once, further demonstrating his pedigree.
For George, this potential move represents more than just a change of scenery—it could be the opportunity to establish himself in top-flight football. Chelsea’s packed attacking lineup has made it difficult for academy graduates to break into the first team, forcing many young talents to seek opportunities elsewhere. A transfer to Roma, whether temporary or permanent, could provide him with the regular playing time needed to accelerate his development and showcase his abilities on a bigger stage.

The timing of the transfer window adds intrigue to the situation, with only a few days left for clubs to finalize their squads. Roma’s need for a dynamic left winger aligns with George’s desire for more consistent minutes, making this deal one that could benefit both parties. If completed, it would be another example of Roma’s willingness to take calculated risks on young, talented players rather than relying solely on high-profile signings.
Chelsea’s academy has long been recognized for producing top-tier talent, many of whom have thrived after leaving the club in search of regular football. George could follow in the footsteps of other Blues graduates who have gone on to enjoy success abroad. With Roma offering a competitive environment in Serie A and the chance to participate in European competitions, the move could be the ideal step for the young winger’s career.
As the transfer deadline looms, all eyes will be on whether Roma can finalize the deal and add Tyrique George to their squad. If the move materializes, it could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both the player and the club.
