The Giallorossi's chances of signing Luiz Adriano and Yevhen Konoplyanka appear to be losing ground, with the former held tight by Shakhtar Donetsk and the latter hinting at his readiness to see out his contract with Dnipro.

The Giallorossi's chances of signing Luiz Adriano and Yevhen Konoplyanka appear to be losing ground, with the former held tight by Shakhtar Donetsk and the latter hinting at his readiness to see out his contract with Dnipro.
Subsequently, reports are now that Roma have turned their attention to Ivory Coast international Doumbia.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma and CSKA already have an agreement in principle to bring the 27-year-old to the Italian capital, but the player has not been persuaded yet.
To that end, Coach Rudi Garcia is reported to have phoned the player to coax him into joining the Lupi.
