Paulo Fonseca has reportedly asked Roma to sign Shakhtar Donetsk pair Ismaily and Marcos Antonio if he takes over.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Fonseca considers Ismaily ‘decisive’ for the football he likes to play as the Brazilian tends to build from his left-back position.
The 29-year-old has yet to be capped by Brazil but is a ‘very attacking’ full-back, who is described as ‘the ideal replacement’ for Aleksandar Kolarov

The Coach would also want midfielder Marcos Antonio, who only joined the Ukrainian side in February and made five full appearances before the end of the season.
The diminutive teen is a Brazil Under-20 international and tends to play as part of a double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Finally, Il Corriere expects Nicolo Zaniolo, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Justin Kluivert to all play key roles in Fonseca’s Roma team as he particularly ‘appreciates their quality’.
