Roma are still interested in Leicester City attacker Patson Daka.

The capital club are prioritizing the signing of Gianluca Scamacca from West Ham, who in turn is pushing to return to his boyhood club.

However, Roma are also keeping track of alternative options to Scamacca in case West Ham were to pose any further obstacles in negotiations for the ex-Sassuolo striker.

As a result, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Roma executive Tiago Pinto is still in contact with Patson Daka’s entourage.

Despite getting started with Leicester City’s preseason, Daka is said to be looking to depart the English club after they dropped to the Championship.
