The 21-year-old, who has been included in Silvio Baldini’s Italy national team squad for the June international friendlies, is beginning to attract interest from some of the Premier League’s big spenders.
Pisilli had to bide his time for opportunities in Serie A in 2025-26, but by the midway stage of the season, he had become a first-team regular and featured in 21 consecutive league matches by the end of the campaign.
He also chipped in with a goal and two assists Roma’s final four matches of the season, which came as part of a five-game winning streak that pushed the Giallorossi into the Champions League positions.
Now, according to reports from romanews.eu, Tottenham and Newcastle have taken an interest and could be poised to make an offer this summer.
Friday’s report claims that Pisilli is currently valued in the region of €35m, which would not be a major issue for the likes of Newcastle or Tottenham and the riches they have at their disposal.
As has been widely reported, Roma must raise funds of up to €60m before the end of June in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
