AS Roma are continuing to look closely at the Bayer Leverkusen market as the club intensifies its search for young, high-potential talent ahead of the summer transfer window.
After targeting Kerim Alajbegović in recent weeks, the Giallorossi have now added another Bayer Leverkusen prospect to their shortlist: Montrell Culbreath.
Who Is Montrell Culbreath?
Culbreath, born in 2007, is considered one of the most promising young attacking wing-backs in German football.
The German youngster has already made 10 Bundesliga appearances for Bayer 04 Leverkusen despite his age, impressing with his technical quality, acceleration, and attacking instincts.
Primarily deployed on the right flank, Culbreath is viewed as a player perfectly suited to the tactical demands of Gian Piero Gasperini’s system due to his ability to play aggressively in wide areas and contribute offensively.
Reports in Italy suggest Roma see him as a profile capable of developing into a future top-level player.
Roma Building for the Future
The interest in Culbreath reflects Roma’s broader transfer strategy under the Friedkin ownership: investing in young players with international potential rather than focusing exclusively on established stars.
The player’s valuation is reportedly between €7 million and €8 million, a figure considered accessible for Roma if sales are completed before June 30.
Roma believe Culbreath and Alajbegović could complement each other well in the future, with the two young attackers operating on opposite flanks.
Massara Active in Germany
Despite uncertainty surrounding his own future at the club, sporting director Frederic Massara continues to work actively on Roma’s transfer planning.
The Giallorossi are also monitoring other attacking profiles, including Antonio Nusa and Xaver Schlager, as the club prepares for a major summer rebuild.
Competition Could Increase
Roma are currently among the clubs showing the strongest interest in both Culbreath and Alajbegović, but competition is expected to intensify as awareness of the players continues to grow across Europe.
For Roma, however, the objective is clear: secure elite young talent before their market value explodes.
With Gasperini expected to play a major role in shaping the squad and the club prioritizing dynamic, versatile profiles, Culbreath has now become one of the latest names to watch in Roma’s summer transfer plans.
