Both Sky Sport Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport now report that Leweling is open to joining Roma, so the Giallorossi are trying to reach an agreement with his club Stuttgart.
According to both sources, the Giallorossi have increased their offer to €30m plus €5m add-ons and have even arranged a private flight for the player to arrive in Rome as soon as possible, following his approval to join the club.

What happened
Roma are intensifying their pursuit of Jamie Leweling, the Union Berlin and Germany U21 winger, with improved contractual and financial offers reported at around €35m. The Giallorossi have reportedly organised a private flight to accelerate negotiations and bring the 24-year-old attacker to Italy. The move signals Roma's clear intent to reinforce their wide attacking options ahead of the new season, with Leweling viewed as a key summer target. Union Berlin, who signed Leweling from Kaiserslautern in 2023, would be in line for a significant capital gain on a player they acquired for a fraction of the proposed fee.
Chance analysis
Roma are pushing hard to land Jamie Leweling, and the private flight detail tells you everything about how the Giallorossi view this deal — they want it done quickly and on their terms. At €35m, this is a serious investment in a winger who lit up the Bundesliga two seasons ago and is still only 24. For Union Berlin, losing a player of Leweling's resale value would sting, but the financial return softens the blow considerably. If completed, the signing would give Roma a direct, pacey wide option capable of stretching deep defensive lines — something they've lacked consistently.
If completed, Leweling's arrival would strengthen Roma's wide attacking options while representing a significant outgoing for Union Berlin.
