Roma are one step away from completing an agreement for Marcos Leonardo of Santos.
After failing to sign the Brazilian attacker in this summer window, Roma have been working on an agreement with Santos for a January transfer.
Santos had made it their priority to keep Leonardo beyond this month as they continue to fight to avoid relegation.
Given the tension that has built up between the player and club, Santos have agreed to let Leonardo join Roma in January.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport, Roma want to complete the final agreement for Leonardo’s January switch early next week following the Giallorossi’s first matchday of the new season.
