The Giallorossi are scouting Ruben van Bommel as a dynamic alternative to Endrick, monitoring the resurgent Dutchman’s progress as they prioritize youth and pace for their future frontline.

Ruben van Bommel has reportedly attracted interest from AS Roma, with the PSV winger emerging as a possible alternative to Real Madrid forward Endrick Felipe as the Italian club assesses its options for the future.

According to Italian outlet Giallorossi.net, Roma have added Van Bommel to their shortlist as they look to strengthen their attacking options with promising young players.

Endrick remains the preferred target, but the report suggests the Brazilian is not the only name under consideration. Van Bommel and VfB Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling have also been mentioned as potential options.

“AS Roma is targeting talented young players. Endrick remains the first choice, but the names of Ruben van Bommel and Jamie Leweling also come up,” the outlet reported, as quoted by PSV Inside.

Van Bommel Attracting Attention After Injury Return

The reported interest comes after Van Bommel made an encouraging return from more than a year of serious injury problems. The PSV winger has impressed this season and earned his first Netherlands senior call-up two months ago.

He is currently with the national team preparing for their Nations League fixtures against Greece and Germany. The Netherlands host Greece on Friday before travelling to Berlin for Monday's meeting with Germany.

His progress has also attracted attention beyond Eindhoven, with Roma among the clubs reportedly monitoring his situation. The Italian side, now associated with former PSV forward Donyell Malen, are understood to be keeping an eye on the 21-year-old's development.

There is, however, no indication that Roma have made a formal offer or opened negotiations with PSV. For now, Van Bommel's inclusion on their reported shortlist points to growing recognition of his performances.
