According to TuttoMercato, Pisilli scored in his first start, helping Roma defeat Torino 2-0 away.

Pisilli scored the decisive second goal at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino. Against Abate's Torino, the Roma midfielder received a pass from Santiago Castro and fired a shot that left Perri with no chance. Pisilli stated: "After the goal, I wanted to celebrate, but my calf suddenly cramped up, very severely. I tried to stay still, but I really couldn't." The midfielder, born in 2004, will turn 22 next week. This match was his first start, and he delivered a convincing performance, scoring his second goal of the season.

Pisilli's standing has risen this summer. He is now effectively the first backup for the midfield duo of Cristante and Koné. In Gasperini's view, Pisilli is not much different from the regular starters, especially since Roma will often play matches every three days after the next international break. After Pisilli was promoted to third-choice midfielder, Aïnawhy was gradually excluded from the plans and subsequently moved to Leipzig. In late June, Roma also rejected an offer from Porto. At that time, it was unclear whether Roma needed to complete a significant capital gains transaction. The Portuguese champions offered 25 million euros for Pisilli, but Roma directly rejected it. Now, Roma is demonstrating through their actions that they value Pisilli and consider him an important member of the squad this season.

Pisilli's value is expected to exceed 25 million euros next summer. It remains to be seen whether Roma will continue to reject offers then, especially if significant bids from Premier League teams arrive. Meanwhile, Pisilli is enjoying this experience and awaiting Friday's national team squad announcement to see if he will be included in Roberto Mancini's selection for the next four UEFA Nations League matches.
