According to Gazzetta, ex-Roma coach Tiago Pinto tried to bring Angelino to Bournemouth, but the ex-Manchester City defender rejected the offer opting to remain at Roma.

The 27-year-old defender spent the first part of the season on loan at Galatasaray. He will remain at the Stadio Olimpico until June 2028.

The other Roma left-back, Leonardo Spinazzola, is expected to leave the club at the end of his contract next month.
