Porto striker Jackson Martinez’s agent confirms “Roma are seriously thinking about buying him.”

The 27-year-old Colombian forward had already been very close to joining Napoli last summer, but the club opted for Gonzalo Higuain instead.

“Roma are seriously thinking about signing him,” Italian representative Peppino Tirri told Radio CRC.

“Porto cannot risk a player like him going towards the end of his contract. In that case, the buy-out clause would no longer apply.”

They had asked Napoli for at least €40m a year ago, but the agent points out his contract situation could lower that price-tag significantly.

Roma have the opportunity to invest, as they are in the Champions League group phase next season.
