The transfer window in Italy may be closed, but that doesn't mean players in Serie A will necessarily be staying with their clubs this season.
The market is still open in France, Spain and Germany, and due to this, it looks as if Roma will be selling another of their famous names before the summer is out. Kevin Strootman has been left out of the matchday squad for tonight's encounter with Atalanta, as the Dutch midfielder nears a move to Marseille. Roma's midfield has undergone a complete transformation this summer, with the departures of Radja Nainggolan, Maxime Gonalons and Gerson - who have been replaced by Javier Pastore, Ante Coric, Bryan Cristante, Nicolo Zaniolo and Steven Nzonzi - and now Strootman is set to leave the club after five years. Here is how Roma fans on Twitter have reacted to the news.

Roma's season began with a 1-0 win over Torino yesterday, as Edin Dzeko scored a magnificent volley late on to send Roma home with three points.
Torino had a goal disallowed by VAR for offside earlier in the match. Robin Olsen and Javier Pastore made their first starts for Roma, while Justin Kluivert and Bryan Cristante came on from the bench for their club debuts. Here is how Twitter reacted during and after the game.
2017-18 was a write-off for Maxime Gonalons in his first season in Rome after joining from Lyon, as the midfielder failed to impress.
Now, he could be set to move on, after it was reported that Premier League side Crystal Palace could be interested in signing the Frenchman. Here is how Roma fans on Twitter have reacted. Topic One: Gonalons out?
After the World Cup.
That was always the answer when Alisson's future was discussed by anyone close to the player. The keeper wanted to focus on the tournament with Brazil before making a decision on his future. The Russian extravaganza is now over, meaning it's time for Alisson to consider his options. And, the more you read, the more it seems that he wants to leave Roma. Liverpool and Chelsea seem to be the main contenders, the former seeming the most likely. Here is how Roma Twitter has reacted to Alisson's situation.
What side of the debate are you on?
In recent days, Roma have been linked with a surprise move for Napoli forward Dries Mertens.
The 31-year-old is currently on international duty with Belgium, but Roma are reportedly interested in him. According to La Repubblica, Roma would return him to his old left wing role, despite him having featured as a false nine for the past two seasons. There may be nothing concrete in these rumours just yet, with Romagiallorossa.it reporting that neither the clubs nor the agents have made official contact. Besides, it seems unlikely that Napoli would sell to a direct rival, but stranger things have happened; Radja Nainggolan went from Roma to Inter, and Gonzalo Higuain was sold by Napoli to Juventus. Indeed, some Roma fans haven't stopped dreaming that this move could happen. Here is the best Twitter reaction. Topic 1: Dries Mertens
Topic 2: Daniele Verde
