Roma pause for Mancini: Petrachi prefers N’Koulou

Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo has reported that Roma have hit the brakes on negotiations for Gianluca Mancini. Reportedly, the intermediaries for the operation had found an agreement to bring the defender to Roma. However, Gianluca Petrachi has decided to delay closing the operation.
