Maxima Roma Transfer Market: Matt Ryan’s Arrival Is Also Official—The Roster Is Taking Shape

The new Maxima Roma is taking shape more and more. Coach Matteo Cotelli (formerly of Leonessa Brescia) will soon welcome another highly talented player: Matt Ryan.

After officially signing Xavier Moon, Matt Ryan is joining the team—an American forward with a distinguished NBA career (he also played for the New York Knicks). In November 2025, Ryan embarked on his first overseas adventure, signing with Dubai Basketball, a club from the United Arab Emirates competing in both the ABA League and the EuroLeague. For the American forward, this marked his first international experience and his debut in Europe’s premier club competition.

Just this summer, Matt Ryan was selected to represent the United States in the American qualifiers for the 2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

For Maxima Roma, this is a major addition that brings a wealth of experience to the court and a truly significant offensive threat.
