Roma are challenging Juventus for free agent Dan-Axel Zagadou, the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund centre-back.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sky Sport Italia and more, the Giallorossi have set their sights on the 23-year-old Ivory Coast international.
He had also been linked with Juve previously in the summer and would be a low-cost option should Daniele Rugani leave on loan.
However, Jose Mourinho’s Roma have now stepped in with a proposal.
Zagadou is a central defender who can also play in a wider role, is very tall and powerful, but has struggled with injuries in recent months.
He played just 91 competitive games for Borussia Dortmund in five years, skipping 83 due to injury, and that makes him a bit of a gamble.
He repeatedly ruptured collateral knee ligaments and had several serious muscular injuries.
AS Monaco and Inter have also been mentioned as possible destinations for Zagadou, who is a product of the PSG youth academy.
