According to reports, Roma has been in talks with Brighton and has been informed that they can sign O'Riley for a transfer fee of €25 million. This development is not surprising, given that Roma's new coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, has been following O'Riley's progress for several years.

It appears that Gasperini, who was recently appointed as Roma's coach, recommended that the club pursue O'Riley. Gasperini also has a personal connection to O'Riley, as he had previously expressed interest in signing him for Atalanta.
