Pre-season and friendlies

Roma's pre-season began on July 15. 27 players[8] took part in the training camp at Riscone di Brunico.

After three friendlies in camp, the squad took part in the Tournoi de Paris, a tournament featuring Ligue 1 clubs Paris Saint-Germain and Bordeaux.

Pre-season preparations ended on a low note. Roma travelled to face Superleague Greece giants Olympiacos, losing 5-1.

Off the pitch, part of the pre-season was dominated by the news that several companies formed to oversee the sale of the club.[9]
