Diego Carlos an option for the defense


As we approach the official opening date to the transfer market, Roma are consistently being linked to more and more names. The latest suggestion is Diego Carlos, Sevilla’s 28-year-old Brasilian center-back. This past season he made all of 46 appearances across all competitions, with one goal to his name. The price-tag is of around 30 million euros, reports Il Messaggero.

So far, Roma have been linked with other defenders including Lille’s Botman and Manchester City’s Aké. A lot will depend on the future of Smalling, and to a smaller degree, of Roger Ibañez. Right now, the club is focused on reducing the wage bill before bringing in new names.
