La Repubblica have reported that Roma sporting director Monchi is on red alert for a defender following the injury to Juan Jesus in defence. For the moment, the Spaniard has prioritised a defender rather than a midfielder for the January market. Reportedly, Atalanta proposed to the Giallorossi the idea of concluding the operation for Gianluca Mancini in January rather than the summer, however, due to financial constraints, Roma don’t have the ability to finalise the deal now.
