Roma have reportedly identified their preferred target for the defense this summer.

The capital club are said to be eyeing Joseph Okumu of Stade de Reims as their next target after securing Enzo Le Fee earlier in the week.

Okumu grew exponentially in the last years including two seasons at Gent and one campaign in Ligue 1 with Reims.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Roma are very fond of the 27-year-old and have made their interest clear to the player’s entourage.

The Giallorossi are now in talks for Okumu’s arrival to the capital.

The news portal claims it will take around 15 million euros to sign Okumu from Reims who would replace Diego Llorente in Daniele De Rossi’s squad.
